Sylvelin
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Aa, Sylvelin, Gud deg signe 
kvar evige Livsens Stund. 
Dei Augo blaa, dei ljose Kinn, 
Din raude Munn . . . 

Som Sol over alle Heimar, 
som Dag etter lange natt, 
Lyste du yver min tunge Hug, 
Og Vetti dei vonde batt! 

Sylvelin, Sylvelin, for deg eg bed, 
For deg og for alt ditt Væl, 
Gud signe deg alle Dagar, 
Du hev so rein ei Sjæl!

Sylvelin
Language: Danish (Dansk)  after the Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Aa, Sylvelin, Gud dig signe 
hver evige Livsens Stund. 
Dine Øjne blaa, din lyse Kinn, 
Din røde Mund . . . 

Som Sol over helle Bygden, 
som Dag efter Natten lang, 
Lyste du over mit tunge Sind 
Og over min Vej saa trang. 

Sylvelin, Sylvelin, for dig jeg be'r, 
For dig og for alt dit Vel, 
Gud signe dig alle Dage, 
Du har saa ren en Sjæl!

From the Sinding score.
