Vejviseren synger
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Til Fjelds over Bygden staar min Hu, naar Gjøgen begynder at gale. Kom med til Sætren iaften du; thi Solen skinner paa Fjeld endnu, mens der er mørkt i Dale. Der er paa Vejen en dunkel Lund, hvor Alferne er' tilhuse. Husk, der maa du gaa med lukket Mund, Selv Nøkken derinde lader kun sagte sin Harpe bruse. Men oppe på Fjeldet er der Klang, som gjenlyder i det Fjerne. Der klinger Bjælder og Lokkesang; med Langeleg der paa Sætervang sidder min fagre Terne.
