by Arne Garborg (1851 - 1924)

Bøn
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Aa hjelp meg du som hjelpa kan!
Du ser, kor saart eg strider.
Mitt Hjarta trøytt i tunge Band
forutan Von seg vrider.
Mi Naud eg [kann kje]1 ut faa sagt;
det vonde fekk so stor ei Magt;
som Brand i Barm det svider.

Ja hjelp meg du som [hjelpe]2 kann!
[Til deg mi Bøn sender]3.
Du stridde sjølv og [yvi]4 vann;
du Myrke-Magti kjenner.
Mi Naud er stor, min Strid er fæl;
ver hjaa meg du, som vil meg vel!
Daa veit eg, alt seg vender.
