88 ARNLJOT GELLINE

Wait for the spring ye may....
Re-born is Norway this day!

«The Lord, whose will be done,
Chooses us, one by one.
Of the death of some He is fain,
Others shall ripen to grain,
Thus will He sow
That once again He may grow
Seed-corn to sow anew
In lands He must yet subdue.
To Him time and place are known,
We only are shown,
That what He sows now in sorrow
Will smile on the morrow.

«Faithful men,
Ye who cast in your lot with me
What time He
Willed that our courage should be tried,
The test now abide!
When from us He took the sword,
We bowed to His word,
All shalt thou for Him forsake,—
And joyous the burden bore,
Until He came
In our banishment’s bitter shame...
Called for our help. We await
Here on this field our fate!
