Analysis of The first meeting
Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson 1832 (Kvikne) – 1910 (Paris)
The first fond meeting holy
Is like the woodbirds' trilling,
Is like a sea-song thrilling,
When red the sun sinks slowly,-
Is like a horn on mountain,
That wakes time's sleep thereunder
And summons to life's fountain
To meet in nature's wonder.
