THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN
SPRING, 1981
SPRINGTIME
by Fridrik Hansen
Translated by Jakobina Johnson
Fair and radiant world of beauty,
Life renewed, intense and strong!
Day of sun and day of gladness,
Far and near a vibrant song.
Angel-wings of love and springtime
Moved by longing sweet and true!
In the south hear swans rejoicing
Over moorland lakes of blue!
Distant hills in mood exalted
Wear a halo of repose.
Over white and gleaming glaciers
Misty clouds are folded close.
O the joy of waking, waking,
To a longing sweet and true!
In the south hear swans rejoicing
Over moorland lakes of blue!
Sunlit fount of silent spaces
Let me drain your brimming cup!
At the call of brooks and streamlets
Sheltered flowers are looking up.
Scene of beauty ever cherished,
Golden light o’er uplands blue!
O the joy of waking, waking
To a longing sweet and true!
