by Knut Hamsun (1859 - 1952)

Godnat herinde
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Nu ruger Nat over Enge
og alt i Mørke forgaar.
Jeg lytter her fra min Rude,
det tier saa tomt derude,
det er som naar Klokken staar.

Da hører jeg Røster kalde
som op fra en Huldreby.
Jeg ved det er mig de vil finde.
Godnat da I to herinde!
Jeg kommer igen ved Gry.

Saa gik jeg mig ud i Natten
og droges saa sælsomt hen.
Gud naade hver Far og Mage
som vel fandt sin Vej tilbage,
men aldrig kom helt igen!
