Der staar en Sorg
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Der staar en sorg etsteds i mit liv, den kaster saa lang en skygge. Og hvor den falder, vil livet ei gro, og sorgen kan ingen rygge. Barmhjertige liv, jeg strækker mod dig i længsel og bøn mine hænder. — Men skyggen ligger henover min vei. Jeg kan ikke se, at den ender.
