Poems and Songs is a collection of works by Bjornstjerne M. Bjornson, a renowned Norwegian author, poet, and playwright. The book features a wide range of poems and songs that showcase Bjornson's literary prowess and his love for his country and its people. The pieces in this collection are written in both Norwegian and English, and they cover various themes such as love, nature, patriotism, and social justice. Some of the most notable works in this book include Ja, vi elsker dette landet (Yes, we love this country), which is Norway's national anthem, and Luren (The Lure), a poem about a shepherd's horn. The book also includes a short biography of Bjornson, providing readers with insight into his life and work. Overall, Poems and Songs is a must-read for anyone interested in Norwegian literature and culture, as well as for those who appreciate beautiful poetry and music.It was such a lovely sunshine-day, The house and the yard couldn't hold me; I roved to the woods, on my back I lay, In cradle of fancy rolled me; But there were ants, and gnats that bite, The horse-fly was keen, the wasp showed fight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
