Øyvind og bukken

Kom, bukken til gutten,
kom, kalven til mor,
kom, mjauende katten
i snehvide skor,
kom, [andunger]1 gule,
kom frem ifra [skjulet]2,
kom, kyllinger små
som næppe kan gå,
kom, duerne mine
med fjærene fine!
Se græsset er vådt;
men solen gjør godt,
og tidlig er det på sommer'n,
men râb på høsten, så kommer'n!

by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (1832-1910) , "Øyvind og bukken", from Læsebog for Folkeskolen, no. 137, Lokkeleg af En glad Gut, published 1892
