My horse is fast on the rocks,
My goat is fast on the screes,
My sheep play along the northern heights.
Here is another, which would remind us of a passage in “The Midsummer Night’s Dream,” only that the squirrel is now reaper instead of coach-maker:—
Ekorne staa paa vaadden o’ slo
Höre dei kaar dei snöre;
Skjere laeste, kraaken dro,
O, roisekattan han kjore.
The squirrels they stand on the meadow and mow,
Hear how they bustle the vermin;
