Since forth he flew with strength of wing increasing,
For whom to God you prayed in joy and sadness. j
Oh, know, when hot my blood burned over-much,
I felt your soothing hands my forehead touch,
And oft, my heart in mute repentance bleeding,
In thoughts of you I heard God’s gentle pleading. ‘
And so I pray that I may have the power
(Since we again for life shall be united,
And hope ’mid mirthful mem’ries be relighted),
To brighten now their every evening-hour!
When children’s children in their arms shall be,
Oh, let them morning in their evening see!
So shall they gladly lay, when death gives warning,
Their gray heads down to greet the dawning morning.

Forests great are growing,
And in long waves going
Glommen’s valley fill to overlowing,—
