VÅRKJENNING
Eg merka våren i dag.
Osane blenkte kring landet.
Millom ljosleggja bjørker
var fura byrja å ande.
Stig, sol, og lokk utfor vegg
kvart frose barn!
Og eg vil gløda i solavlen
kalde jarn.

SIGNS OF SPRING
I noticed spring today.
The willows glittered everywhere.
Among white-stemmed birches
each pine started to breathe.
Rise up, sun, entice out of doors
every frozen child.
And in the sun's vigour I shall make
cold iron glow.
