This is a prose poem interspersed with verse in the form of prayers by a lost soul seeking an unknown god. Gunnar Haave had left his native land in search of life. He has squandered it and at the end returns home in search of the Father. His brother Paul has also thrown away his life to become the servant of his Master, Christ. It is Paul who finally succeeds in bringing the peace of the Father to Gunnar. An autobiographical sketch precedes the story and the translation from the Norse is by Mabel Johnson Leland.
