By the Fireside.
They launched the burning ship!It floated far awayOver the misty sea,Till like the moon it seemed,Sinking beneath the waves.Balder returned no more!
So perish the old Gods!But out of the sea of TimeRises a new land of song,Fairer than the old.Over its meadows greenWalk the young bards and sing.
Build it again,O ye bards,Fairer than before!Ye fathers of the new race,Feed upon morning dew,Sing the new Song of Love!
