With the words of Urth shall no man war, Though unearned her gifts be given."
Mengloth spake:64. "Welcome thou art, for long have I waited; The welcoming kiss shalt thou win!For two who love is the longed-for meeting The greatest gladness of all.
65.[1] "Long have I sat on Lyfjaberg here, Awaiting thee day by day;And now I have what I ever hoped, For here thou art come to my hall.
66. "Alike we yearned; I longed for thee, And thou for my love hast longed;But now henceforth together we know Our lives to the end we shall live."
- ↑ Lyfjaberg cf. stanza 52 and note.
