Henry Adams Bellows · stanza 50
1923On the hillside drear the fir-tree dies,All bootless its needles and bark;It is like a man whom no one loves,—Why should his life be long?The Poetic Edda: Translated from the Icelandic with an Introduction and Notes, 1923
On the hillside drear the fir-tree dies,All bootless its needles and bark;It is like a man whom no one loves,—Why should his life be long?
