ARNLJOT GELLINE
‘The forest around
Crept up close,
Protection offering!
But by the height whereupon
Stiklestad lay
Wide-spread the valley bore
On its bosom ripening grain,
Coppice and house.
Off by the dark-blue fjord
The hills gave way,
The woods as well,
‘The river wound
Its course through the fields and the mead,
Slow-flowing and wide.
Peace reigned supreme.
But from the fjord, in the distance,
Came the enemy.
Dismounted the King.
Round about Stiklestad’s height
Should his host
The power of the foe await.
Gathered quickly the chiefs,
Each took his place,
To each came a strengthening word.
Mounted the King then a wall,
Spoke to his army —
For the last time.
