D'er brotne Kvister i alle Skogar
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk)
D'er brotne Kvister i alle Skogar; det henger Mold under alle Plogar; paa alla Leider det Lyte finst, og myket der, som ein ventar minst. Men naar me høyra um gamla Tider, so hadde Folket vel verre Rider. Med all den Trældom, som no me sjaa, so er det mildare no en daa. Og dermed vilja me endaa vona, at langa Tider maa myket sona, at eingong Sanning skal vinna lett, at eingong Folket skal faa sin Rett.
