Du ska itte trø i graset. Spede spira lyt få stå. Mållaust liv har og en mening du lyt sjå og tenkje på. På Guds jord og i hass hage er du sjøl et lite strå. Du ska itte røre reiret, reiret er e lita seng. Over tynne bån brer erla ut sin vare varme veng. Pipet i den minste strupe ska bli kvitring over eng. Du ska itte sette snuru når du ser et haraspor. Du ska sjå deg for og akte alt som flyg og spring og gror. Du er sjøl en liten vek en, du treng sjøl en storebror. Du ska itte trø i graset.
