Trykt i Bianco Lunos Bogtrykkerie, København (uden år, men formodentlig 1843). 8 sider. Indlagt løst i nyere, blåt kardusomslag. Rent, flot eksemplar. * Af største sjældenhed. Ukendt for Bertelsen, ikke medtaget i 33-bindsudgaven af Blichers samlede skrifter, og Grundtvigs bidrag er heller ikke nævnt i Steen Johansens bibliografi.** Denne lille pamflet indeholder tre bidrag: Himmelbjergs=Vise 1842 (af Grundtvig) og to sange af Blicher (Ny Himmelbjergssang 1843) og (Til Svenska Bröder (på svensk)). Det virker som et hæfte til uddeling, så man kunne afsynge sangene til selve festen, men festen i 1843 var allerede en nedtur for Blicher med et helt uengageret publikum. Året efter begyndte de konkurrerende møder på Skamlingsbanken, og Himmelbjergsfesten druknede i regn - det var slut.
