ARNLJOT GELLINE
Scud! List to leeward the wild beasts of the break-
ers — About!
Put out to sea once more!
Who is he sitting there among you,
Right in the midmost thwart? Give answer!
Mark him, standing out like a leaf-crowned tree
*gainst the sky,
About him the fog now lifts.
Light streams forth from his face and helmet,
Blue is his vesture, and red is he bearded,
About plays the lightning. See you his shoulders,
his neck,
See you the flash of his eye!
“¢ Man of might, who art thou, where are we?
For weeks we sail in the night ’midst wonders.
How was it thou cam’st on board, and what wilt
thou with us—
Is it death thou bringest, or life?”
Answered he, and the sea waxed calm:
“ Here lie the waters thy soul was seeking
What time thy wish was ever the sea to roam!
Here is waging the mightiest strife.
«Well know I the land from the great days olden
When hither I came and slew the giants.
