May II Norway
~~~~~~~

(From "Our Country" by Bj0rnson).
A Land there is, lying farnortheru snow,
Where only the assures ife's sprngtme may know.
But surging, the tells of great deeds done,
And loved is the land a mother by
What time little and sat on her knee
She gave us her saga with pictures to
We read till opened wide and moist,
While nodding and smiling she mute rejoiced.
We went to the ford in wonder beheld
The ashengray bauta that record of cid;
Still older she stood and her silence kept,
While stone-studded hows all around slept
Our hands she then took and away DER the hill
She led to the church ever lowly and still,
Where humbly forefathers knelt to pray,
And mildly she taught do We they!"
She scattered her snow the mountains steep side,
The North Sea she maddened with scourge of gales
OF beautiful maidens she gathered throng,
To follow daring with smiles and with song
While she sat enthroned with her sagas scroll
In mantle of moonlight beneath the Pole.
Then Forward, go forward" borne the wind
with forefathers' aim and with forefathers mind,
For freedom, for Norsehood for Norway hurrah!"
While echoing mountains voiced their hurrah
Then hfe-gving fountains burst forth sight,
Then baptized with her spirit of might
Then cleaned DER the mountains vision HIGH
That summons onward until we die.
