NOTES
PREFATORY
Byoanstyerne Byérnson was born in 1832 and died in 1909.
The last edition of his Poems and Songs published in his lifetime
is the fourth, dated 1903. It is a volume of two hundred pages,
containing one hundred and forty-one pieces, arranged in nearly
chronological order from 1857, or just before, to 1900, Of these
almost two-thirds appeared in the first edition (1870), ending with
Good Cheer and including ten pieces omitted in the other editions, ~
eight poems and two lyrical passages from the drama King Sverre ;
the second edition (1880) added the contents in order through
Question and Answer and inserted earlier The Angels of Sleep ; the
third (1900) extended the additions to include Frederik Hegel.
This translation presents in the same order the contents of the
fourth edition, with the exception of the following ten pieces :
Bryllupsvise Nr. I.
Bryllupsvise Nr. II.
Bryllupsvise Nr. III.
Bryllupsvise Nr. IV.
Bryllupsvise Nr. V.
De norske studenter til fru Louise Heiberg.
De norske studenters hilsen med fakkeltog til deres kgl. hoiheder
hkronprins Frederik og kronprinsesse Louise.
Til sorenskriver Mejdells solvbryllup.
Nytaarsrim til rektor Steen.
Til maleren Hans Gudes og frues guldbryllup.
