Then Skathi went up to the fells, and dwelt in Thrumheim. She runs
much on snow-shoes, carries a bow, and shoots wild animals ; she is
styled the snow-shoe goddess. Edda Snorra Sturlusonar, Gylfaginning,
K. 23.
I wedded fair Skathi,
The mountain nymph free,
And bride was there never
More winsome than she ;
The crimson that dyeth
Her cheek and her lip,
Is richer than sunset
On ocean asleep —
Yet my stay was not long —
Nine nights and no more — though my love was so strong !
As lustrous and wavy
Her ringlets of gold
As cloudlets of summer.
Fold rolling o'er fold.
