FRITHIOF’S SAGA
And earth awakes, and ocean glitters,
Away must gloom and lovers fly.
"Now mounts the sun in majesty:
Forgive, O golden god, my prayer,
I feel thy near divinity:
How noble art thou, and how fair.
Oh! that I so my path could tread,
Like thee, in majesty and might,
And, proud and glad, my life be clad,
Like thine, in victory and light.
"Now here, before thine eyes, I set
The fairest maiden in the north;
Watch over her, O Balder great,
Thine image she on grassy earth.
Her soul is spotless as thy ray;
Her eye is as thy heaven blue;
And thy bright gold, that decks the day,
Glows in her lovely tresses too.
"Farewell! my Ingeborg, and now
Another night we must await:
Farewell! one kiss upon thy brow,
And one upon thy lips so sweet.
Now sleep and dream of me, and waking
Still on our love in fond thought dwell,—
Count of the hours, as I do, taking,
Loving, as I do; fare thee well."
