by Knut Hamsun (1859 - 1952)

Ved Nyingen
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Jeg går og pusler i skogen
og tænder et bål ved kvæld.
Nu slukner en dag i vesten
og månen står halvt påhæld.

Alverden er gåt til hvile,
det tier fra busk og sti,
men flagermusvinger sortner
i nyingens skin forbi.

Mit hjærte dovner og drømmer
og stilner som i en rus.
Omkring mig vælder fra skogen
et sagte evindelig sus.

Confirmed with Knut Hamsun, Samlede Verker, Bind 15, Gyldendal Norsk Forlag, Oslo, 1964.
