The same waves that pulled you below to the whale’s-land Rolled you like a lover and tossed you back empty Drive our ship homewards along the broad sail-road To mountains and mead-halls and furs--cold and empty
The same stars that led you along the dark bird’s-road To home everlasting beneath freezing waters Guide our ship onwards away from your grave-heap Where smoke rises upwards, dreams scattered too early
And if I’m no mouse-heart, to flee from a challenge I’ll follow the low road wherever it leads me And brave any dangers to find your bright bird-soul And lay down beside you, or carry you home
