j FRITHIOF’S SAGA 151
"Where is Ingeborg now? Hath she e’er thought of me,
with her aged spouse withered and gray?
I ne’er can forget; but to see her once more, my whole life
I’d give gladly away.
"Three years have sped by since my home I beheld, great
Saga’s majestical hall;
Stand forth still ’gainst the heaven her bright cliffs on high ?
groweth green still my ancestors’ vale?
"On the mound, where my father is laid,did I plant a
lin-den-tree, bloometh it now?
Who hath tended it since? Give it nurture, O Earth,and
thy dew on it, Sky, sprinkle thou.
"Yet why lie I longer on billows afar, for slaughter and
plundering prize?
I have honor enough,and the red-flaming gold, the
worthless, my soul doth despise.
"The flag on my mast streameth back to the North; to the
North, to my fatherland dear;
I ’11 follow the course of the heavenly winds; back again to
my Northland I’ll steer."
