by Ivar Andreas Åsen (1813 - 1896)

Eg heve freistat
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Eg heve freistat so einkvar Gong,
um sjølv eg Stev kunde gjera;
men sjeldan fekk eg so min Song,
som helst han skulde vera.

Difyre legg eg saa litet fram;
eg vil ikkje Tidi spilla.
Det skal ikkje verda so lang ein Glam,
eg vil berre Harpe stilla.
