Norway`s second official language, mainly spoken in the countryside.
They don`t know the poem from before and none of them has nynorsk as a mothertongue.

The Dream by Olav H.Hauge
It is the dream we carry in secret
that something wonderful will happen
that it must happen
that time will open
that the heart will open
that doors will open
that springs will gush
that the dream will open
that we one morning will glide into
some harbor we did not know was there.
