Vór
Hýr koms da siker vór,
da son sjyns in sæ glig.
Mi yn rins, an mi harns
is tøm as a blán-ut æg.
Ju syken, an torn disdjasket
wi dis hweit leiht sae grim,
at wigs, an glints, an glanses,
an sabs a bǫdis hæm.
Hit wigs, an glints, an glanses,
læk lang wǽvs o da sý,
an mi kǫts hǫls, an mi sowls yns,
sjás op sæ hǫrabli.
