FRITHIOF’S SAGA 107
Where wanders many a happy pair,
With rosy wings and golden hair.
But saw’st thou them in moonlit glade,
Dancing beneath the forest shade,
Thou ’dst think in airy dance t’ have seen
The fairy king and fairy queen.
How light his heart, how glad his thought,
When the first Runes to him were taught;
So proud no king on earth was then,
Since he could teach them her again.
O’er the blue deep he loved to guide
His boat, with Ingborg by his side;
While she, as sailed they to and fro,
Clapped gleefully her hands of snow.
To gain for her, no wild bird’s nest
Too high for him was ever placed,
Nor even could the eagle strong
Protect from him her eggs or young.
No stream, however fierce its flow,
He feared to carry Ingborg through;
Sweetly, when ’neath loud falls they passed,
Her little white arms held him fast,
The first fair flower that spring-time bred,
The first wild berry, sweet and red,
The first ripe ear of golden corn,
Faithful and glad, to her were borne.
