Amid the swirl of tide and wave,

The giant landmarks nature gave

Of old to warn of dangerous strands.

They landed on the famous sands

Which skirt the base of Sota’s reef,

Where parted Hjalmar[G] from the side

Of Ingeborg,[G] his faithful bride,

Where afterward she died of grief,

When Odin called the youth above

To Valhall’s courts, to do his will;
