Birch, pine, and larch, and various shrubs adorn.
Ice-clumps upon the roof no more they view’d,
Where sleeps the dwarfish Lapp in gloom and smoke;
But in the vales strong houses built of wood
More polish’d life and milder clime bespoke.
No longer rolling in his sledge they view
The dark-hair’d Finn by nimble rein-deer drawn;
The horses’ hoofs here boast the iron shoe;
The[48] Jarl’s proud mansion on the well-trimm’d lawn
Tow’ring arose, where lay in nuptial dress
