by Einar Skjæraasen (1900 - 1966)

Gråspurv
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Når alle fine svulur slær venga ut og fær,
da sit 'n att i tunet og trøter tia her,
spurven. 

Når alle lærker kvitrer i grøne palmeland,
da sit 'n på en rimekvist og syng så godt 'n kan,
spurven. 

Når flisa sprett i skogen og snøen fyk i fonn,
da hågg 'n i en hestelort og finn et bergingskonn,
spurven.

Når nordavinden uler og månen står i næ,
da er'n en strid og hemkjær trysling, han som je.
Spurven.
