Vi ere en Nation, vi med

Vi ere en Nation, vi med (English: We too are a nation, lit. "We are a nation, we with") is a poem written by Norwegian poet Henrik Wergeland, first published in 1841. Adapted as the lyrics of the Patriotic song "Smaagutternes Nationalsang",(English: The Little Boys' National Anthem), the text express a desire that Norwegian Constitution Day also should be a day for the children. The most commonly used melody for the song might have been written by French Classical-period composer, André Grétry, but this has not been confirmed.
