A Toast to Iceland

Jonas Hallgrimsson

 Next Poem          

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!

    I 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 😕.
