Svipdagsmol

With the words of Urth  shall no man war,
 Though unearned her gifts be given."

  Mengloth spake:
64. "Welcome thou art,  for long have I waited;
 The welcoming kiss shalt thou win!
For two who love  is the longed-for meeting
 The greatest gladness of all.

65.[1] "Long have I sat  on Lyfjaberg here,
 Awaiting thee day by day;
And now I have  what I ever hoped,
 For here thou art come to my hall.

66. "Alike we yearned;  I longed for thee,
 And thou for my love hast longed;
But now henceforth  together we know
 Our lives to the end we shall live."

  1. ↑ Lyfjaberg cf. stanza 52 and note.
