by Theodor Kjerulf (1825 - 1888) and sometimes misattributed to Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer Welhaven (1807 - 1873)

Når kommer rosen tiden?
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Du første rose, du, som jeg ser 
i disse fremmede dale, 
med åbne læber [du til mig]1 ler, 
[ej sandt, du kan hviske]2 og tale? 

[Så]3 sig mig og svar: Er ej rosen-tid 
snart, snart på vinger [at vente]4 
for en, den du ved; ja, bøj dig hid, 
et ord fra mit hjerte at hente --

For en, så stolt og så tro som guld, 
som aldrig undte mig det ilde -- 
Jeg breder hende vejen af torne fuld, 
alt det jeg end bedre vilde.
