And they resounded with a new prayer:
|
"Deliver us, O lord, from the fury of the norsemen!" In vain!!
|
|
Tales of the mighty deeds
|
Of the heroes of old
|
Still a certain nostalgia
|
Of what has been, lived on
|
|
They came from the cold and hostile north
|
They pillaged the monasteries
|
Putting villages to fire and the sword
|
And profaned the churches
|
|
"Far and wide like the falcon
|
That hunts through the sky
|
Flew he now o'er the desolate sea
|
|
Has through courage strike close to thy foe
|
Not too short for thee then is my blade
|
|
When the storm roars on high
|
Up aloft with the sail
|
Ah! How pleasant is the sea in it's wrath!
|
|
The sea-king himself shows no greed
|
Only glory he seeks from his foe!"
|
|
They sailed out of history
|
Into the realm of legend
