Enno ei gong fekk eg isen at sjå frå landet at fljota. Snjoen at bråna og fossen i å at fyssa og brjota. Graset det grøne eg enno ein gong fekk skoda med blomar; Enno eg høyrde at vårfuglen song mot sol og mot sumar. Ei gong eg sjølv i den vårlege eim, som mettar mitt auga, Ei gong eg der vil meg finna ein heim og symjande lauga. Alt det, som våren i møte meg bar og blomen, eg plukkad', Federnes åndir eg trudde det var, som dansad' og sukkad'. Derfor eg fann millom bjørkar og bar i våren ei gåta; Derfor det ljod...    less

No grief of night can weigh Against the joys that throng thy coming day. Sleep, little heart! there is no place in Slumberland for tears: Life soon enough will bring its chilling fears And sorrows that will dim the after years. Sleep, little heart! II Ah, little eyes Dead blossoms of a springtime long ago, That life's storm crushed and left to lie below the benediction of the falling snow! Sleep, little heart That ceased so long ago its frantic beat! the years that come and go with silent feet Have naught to tell save this — that rest is sweet. Sleep, little heart. http://www.choirplace.com/profile/Nathaniel Matthew Curtis https://choraltracks.com/  less
