WE bore them their own wild
And ash-boughs jeweled red,
There where they sleep together,

Soars a shaft of labrador,
Black yet beauty-haunted,
Marked with the hammer of Thor.
But what memorial
To Björnson, loved of the folk?
We sought till our quest had
Where tender voices spoke,
Where never a rail
That resting-place of fame,
A little plot of roses,
Nameless nor needing name.
