Norge, mitt Norge
Norway, My Norway

TRANSLATION AND COMMENTS BY DR. ALF LUNDER KNUDSEN

The most famous poem of Theodor Caspari (1853-1948) — found in his collection of poems entitled Vinter i Norge (Winter in Norway) — very aptly describes the country sleeping during the winter months and the longing for a sunny spring.

However, when summer departs — and life with it — then teach me to wither, oh Norway my Mother, and make me a bed in your sacred soil.Alfred Paulsen (1849-1936) — Norwegian-born organist and choral director who immigrated to the USA and settled in Chicago, IL — set the poem to music, arranged for male chorus (TTBB) in 1911.
