THE BATTLE OF STIKLESTAD
To bear.
Arnljot in the forefront
Stout them defended,
Every foeman nearing
He felled;
But too sharply cleft he
The billowing warriors,
And from his own was parted
At last.
Over the heads of the multitude
Alone he towered,
As at the Thing of the Iamtlanders
‘That nights 24:
But not now demanding
Mulct for his father,
Not now seeking
His bride.
For himself no purpose
In the world remaining,
Only this—to perish
For him
Who had reft his spirit
From its empty striving,
Given him a single
Day.
Sword in right hand swinging,
In his left a spear-shaft,
Like a god in the grove
He stood.
