j FRITHIOF’S SAGA 107
"Thy place thou shalt claim,
Displayed on his wrist on the ’broidering frame;
Thy wings of silver folding
Thy talons golden.
"Freya, in need,
Took falcon’s wings once, through creation to
speed,
And her Oedur beloved sought forth
In south and in north.
"E’en couldest thou share
Thy pinions with me, scarce my weight could
they bear:
’T is death, and death only, that brings
Celestial wings.
"Sky-hunter brave,
Perch on my shoulder, and gaze o’er the wave.
Alas! how long may we gaze
While Frithiof delays.
"When I am dead
He will return; to my message give heed—
Welcome and comfort, over and over,
My sorrowing lover."
