by Ivar Julius Mortensson-Egnund (1857 - 1934)

Vantru, tvil og tunge tankar
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Vantru, tvil og tunge tankar
skynar eg meg inkje paa;
liti gröda visst dei sankar,
inkje fram gang mun dei faa.

Vantru, tvil i desse tider
kven kan gi seg inn paa slikt?
Livsens flaum i alle tider!
Livet er det fagrast' dikt.

Sæle me, som no fær liva!
Sæl kvar den som einast trur;
han eig magti som kan driva vokster
fram i nord og sör.

Framtid ingen annan eiger,
det skal dei vel snart faa sjaa.
Andre trælar som paa leige,
frikar einast han mun gaa.
