by Guðmundur Björnsson (1864 - 1937), as Gestur

Vögguvísa
Language: Icelandic (Íslenska) 
Brátt mun birtan dofna,
barnið á a sofna;
þei, þei og ró, ró,
þei, þei og ró, ró,
barnið á að blunda í ró.

Sól af himni hnígur,
húm að jörðu sígur;
þei, þei og ró, ró,
þei, þei og ró, ró,
góða barnið blunda í ró.

Dreymi barnið, dreymi
dýrð í sólarheimi;
þei, þei og ró, ró,
þei, þei og ró, ró,
blunda, elsku barn, í ró.
