This poem came in the Christmas issue of

Morgunblaðið in Iceland. At the end it states
in English: the author who lives in Minnesota is a
Western-Icelandic poet who writes poetry in Engiish
as well.
Bragi Magnússon
Gljáir í geislum sólar
Glitfrost á fanna þröng
Helkaldir jökul-hólar
Hryllast viö klaka-föng
Skelfir jörö og skekur
Snjóhvíta jökul-rönd
Ylur frá rööli rekur
Rammvafin klaka-bönd
Nú er eins og allir vættir
Aftur-gangi og fari á kreik
Náttúrunnar miklu mættir
Magnast hver viö annars leik
Þaö brestur í hvítum beinum
Og byljandi sprungur rjúfa
Haröfrosiö hold af steinum
Og hrannaborgir kljúfa
Geisandi gnýr í fellum
Gaular um ísa spöng
Beljandi brunar úr hellum
Brakandi jaka-þröng
Verkiö sem virtist standa
Veglegt fram öllum tíðum
Skelfur í sumar anda
Sunnu frá gælu þýöum
Lækir, sem aö gældu léttir
Viö lyng og mosa-tó
Fleygjast nú meö ógna fréttir
Fram um urö og mó
Vekja á, af vetrar blundi
Er villist eins og breima tröll
Geisar fram aö fljúfra sundi
Grá-blá eins og risa höll
í lofti hvín, sem hundraö lestir
Hvæsi fram um eina braut
Móöurjarðar gljúfra gestir
Gnýja eins og þúsand naut
Þrunginn þyrlast úöa mökkur
Þykkur upp um hamra og gil
Hylur storö sem væri rökkur
Sólar sést þar varla til
Brjótast fram úr skornum
stökkum
Steypast niöur háls og hlíöar
Magnast móti mel og bökkum
Móöu-dætur ryöjast gríðar.
Bunum breyta í mikla fossa
Brotöldur á flúöum fæöa
Klaka-klettum ogjökum
hossa
Kolbrúnar yfir landiö flæöa
Fljótiö mikla, bólgna, breiöa
Bylgist inn um vtk og vog
Farvegir allir, fyrri leiöa
Fyllast eins og grípa trog
Drunandi skriöur, skrapa
hlíöar
Steypast yfir grund og eyri
Sjaldséö myndi, fyrr né síöar
Storðar hamför, öllu meiri
Fram aö ósum, feikna móöa
Flytur meö sér ísa-þröng
Undir himni rööul-rjóöa
Ristir storö viö ægis-söng.
Geisir óö, í hafiö græna
Gnýjandi öldur dilla viö
„Hver er skoppandi lækjar-
spræna
Sem tryllist svo viö vorsins
kliö."
Höfundur býr í Minnesota og
er vestur-íslenskt skáld en
yrkir jafnframt á ensku.
