And the Dwarfs they fled to their grots again,

And Skirnir vaulted on high.

Now Bifrost appears with its brilliant sheen;

(The birds on the trees sing sweet)

Its tints enliven the sky serene

The returning chief to greet.

Like a bird in spring brave Skirnir flew

(On the flow’rets the dew-drops shine)

And Valhall anew much he joy’d to view,

And partake of Sâhrimner’s chine.
