Her head she lifted up then, and proudly
        Rose she erect;
The northern lights played o’er the starry arch,
        Icily cold
Was the air of the night; seeking the distance
        Pale was her gaze.—
“Speak, thou proud beauty, yon night on the ice-pack
        Wert thou not silent;
        Those tear-smitten eyes
        With meaning were rich.”

Angrily raised she her head; her bosom
        Heaved like the sea;
Higher and higher the billows of passion
        Surged, as she whispered:
“No man as thee I loved aforetime;
        Thou truly hast seen.
None henceforth shall I hate more deeply,
        More fiercely than thee.”—
        And the source of her tears
        On the instant was dried.

Smiled then Arnljot, in words replying
        Low-spoken like hers:
“Mournest thou sore for thy fallen father,
        Mourn I as well.
Each of us now has won what he willed,
        Won his revenge;
Our union this night shall be as atonement
