Icelin.My blood is poison and my heart is ice!

A witch, a wolf, a witch, a wolf, a witch!

My teeth are pointed like a wolf’s. A witch!

My face is white, my lips are bleeding red,

My blood is poison, and my heart is ice.

A witch, a wolf, a witch, a wolf, a witch,

A wolf! I follow then! I will devour you!

I’ll follow you about the world—and eat you!

(She bounds into the forest after Gorm. The ravens follow her.)
