English: "For the Youth". Also known by the words of the first line "Kringsatt av fiender". It was set to music in 1952 by the Danish composer Otto Mortensen.
The poem was written in 1936 when Grieg was in Ny-Hellesund in Søgne, after a request by the politician Trond Hegna, for use in the Norwegian Students' Society. The poem is directly inspired by the Spanish civil war, which broke out the same summer. - Licensing
