wedding reading -hel!

Hi,

really any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.

My younger brother is getting married this weekend and I have been asked to do a reading. My family is originally from Norway (3 generations back) but moved to New Zealand and partially to the UK during the 1st world war so unfortunately I am woefully naive of the language!!

I have found what looks like a perfect reading but the translations i have managed to get via the web are very incomplete ( in fact dreadful). If anyone could help me out i'd be really very grateful.

the original poem is as follows - I also have no idea who originally wrote it so again if anyone can shed light I'd be very happy!!

------
To må man være
om livet skal lykkes,
to når vårt kjærlighets
tempel skal bygges.
To når det stormer
og to i det stille,
to for å kunne
og to for å ville.

To må man være
for livet å fatte,
to for dets lys
og dets gleder å skatte,
to for å nyte
og to for å gavne,
to for å elske
og to for å favne.

To må man være
når verden vil true,
to for i stillhet,
mot himlen å skue,
to for å leve
i ungdom og sommer
to for å dø
når dødstimen kommer.

thanks !!!!!
