Need help translating (Norge?) poem.

[jbirdwoodruff]

Could someone help translate this for me? And do you know of its origin? I believe it is Norwegian, thank you.

Ja, Livet strøymer paa meg, som det strøymde,
naar under Snjo eg saag det grøne Straa.
Eg drøymer no, som fyrr eg altid drøymde,...
Eg gløymer Dagsens Strid, ...,
naar eg mot Kveld af Sol eit Glimt fekk sjaa...

Aasmund Olavson Vinje is the name of the poet. http://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ved_Rundarne


And now for a very rude translation (if even correct):

And how rapt to those blessedly rooms
where truth becomes life's coloured play
wondrous dreaming overcomes me
how once it invaded a boy.
