Completion of Voluspa - Episode 84
Oct 14th, 2008 by spokenlore
On all sides saw I Valkyries assemble,
Ready to ride to the ranks of the gods;
Skuld bore the shield, and Skogul rode next,
Guth, Hild, Gondul, and Geirskogul.
Of Herjans maidens the list have ye heard,
Valkyries ready to ride oer the earth. ~ Voluspa, stanza 31
The giantess old in Ironwood sat,
In the east, and bore the brood of Fenrir;
Among these one in monsters guise
Was soon to steal the sun from the sky. ~ Voluspa, stanza 40
Then comes Sigfathers mighty son,
Vithar, to fight with the foaming wolf;
In the giants son does he thrust his sword
Full to the heart: his father is avenged. ~ Voluspa, stanza 53
