This particular setting was composed with a small mixed-ability choir in mind, so the voices are mainly in two parts (men's and women's voices), splitting to four parts (SATB) occasionally, where the words suggest it. The musical style is reminiscent of the 19th century although the piano part does go into 20th century style syncopation at times.

Enno ei gong fekk eg isen at sjå frå landet at fljota. Snjoen at bråna og fossen i å at fyssa og brjota. Graset det grøne eg enno ein gong fekk skoda med blomar; Enno eg høyrde at vårfuglen song mot sol og mot sumar. Ei gong eg sjølv i den vårlege eim, som mettar mitt auga, Ei gong eg der vil meg finna ein heim og symjande lauga. Alt det, som våren i møte meg bar og blomen, eg plukkad', Federnes åndir eg trudde det var, som dansad' og sukkad'. Derfor eg fann millom bjørkar og bar i våren ei gåta; Derfor det ljod...    less
