The wind is cold and heavyAnd storms are in the skyOur path across the nordlandGoes higher and more highTo left the sea we came fromTo right the white hills with no tree.The wind is growing colderAnd shivering are we.We drag with stiffening fingersOur swords and up the hillThe path is steep and tangledBut leades to battles stillRefrainFarewell now mountain vale and plainFarewell now wind and frost and rainAnd mist and cloud and heavens airYe star and moon so blinding fair.Farewell now blade and bloom and grassThat see the changing season passFarewell sweet earth and northern skyForever blessed but here we die.
