Farewell we call to the earth and hall
Though wind may blow so fast rain may fall
We must away ere break of day
For over
wood, tree and mountain tall.
With foes ahead, behind us dread
Beneath the sky's our bed
Until at last our toil be
passed
Our journey's done with sped
Beneath the moon and under a tall star
I wandered so far from northern
lands
Bewildered on enchanting charming ways
So far from the days of mortal lands
From gashing of the narrow ice so
near
Where shadows lie frozen on the hills top
From neither heats and burning glowing waste
I'm turning in haste and
fear.
