Our land of lakes forever fair
below blue mountain summits,
of swans, of salmon leaping where
the silver water plummets,
of glaciers swelling broad and bare
above earth's fiery sinews ---
the Lord pour out his largess there
as long as earth continues!

Comments1I don't know, guys Jónas Hallgrímsson's poem doesn't really resonate with me that much 🤷♂️. I mean, sure, there's some nice imagery like "the silver water plummets," but overall it feels a bit meh to me 😕.
