Includes:
Lær mig, nattens stjærne  CNW 258
Sangen har lysning  CNW 259
Hvad synger du om så højt i det blå?  CNW 260
Nu skal det åbenbares  CNW 261

Composition: 1922.

The four melodies were composed on request by Harald Balslev, headmaster of Ubberup High School (Ubberup Højskole), who wished to include them in the school's yearbook of 1922; however, only one of them (CNW 261) appeared in the yearbook. All of them were published in the second edition of Folkehøjskolens Melodibog and again in 1925 in a separate volume entitled Fire folkelige Melodier.
