     May the young man always be sad-minded, stern thought of heart, also shall have blithe bearing, also with breast-sorrow, the band of great-worries would be with him all along his world’s mirth, be he fully outlawed in a far folks-land so that my lover sits under a stone cliff, frost-covered by storm, weary-minded lord, overflown by water in the dreary-hall.
