The Judgement of Valhalla

by Gilbert Frankau

As roaring down the void outburst the last loud song of the dead.

THE SONG OF THE GUNNER-DEAD

In Thor’s own red Valhalla,

Which priest may not unbar;

But only Nakéd Truth and Eye,

Last arbiters of War;

Feast, by stark right of courage,

The Killers from Afar.

We put no trust in heaven,
