Oh, Niörthr, my bridegroom,
Was comely and brave
As e'er for her lover
A maiden could crave !
But he ill brooked the mountains,
And on the tenth day,
We sought the wild sea-shore
Whereon his home lay.
Yet my stay was not long —
Nine nights and no more — though my love was so strong !
The halls of his father
Stand close by the wave ;
Around the tide lashes,
The ocean gales rave.
There how could I slumber !
All night the salt foam
