by Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906)
Spillemænd
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Til hende stod mine tanker hver en sommerlys nat, men vejen den bar til elven i det duggede orekrat. Hej, kjender du gru og sange, kan du kogle den dejliges sind, så i store kirker og sale hun mener at følge dig ind! Jeg maned den våde af dybet; han spilled mig bent fra Gud, -- men da jeg var bleven hans mester, var hun min broders brud. I store kirker og sale mig selv jeg spilled ind, og fossens gru og sange veg aldrig fra mit sind.
