Freyr spake:

[4]. “How shall I tell thee, | thou hero young,

Of all my grief so great?

Though every day | the elfbeam dawns,

It lights my longing never.”

Skirnir spake:

[a]5]. “Thy longings, methinks, | are not so large

That thou mayst not tell them to me;

Since in days of yore | we were young together,

We two might each other trust.”
