Description
Excerpt from Erling a Tale From the Land of the Midnight-Sun
Prelude.
High in the heavens
Hovers the northlight,
Constantly changing
Color and aspect:
Flames flicker
Fearful to look at,
Crackling and hissing,
Crowning the Northpole. -
The lurid northlight
Lights the Northland.
The lowly Lapp
Leaves the valley,
Restlessly roaming,
His reindeer drives.
'Mid the mountains,
Among his people,
The sordid sorcerer
Sells his witchcraft. -
Wily and weird
Are the wise men from Lapland.
