"I look upon this mighty view
It nestles firm against my heart
Of all that rests beneath Sky's blue
I yearn but for my matching part"

So spoke the Maid so icy fair
Who yet did go without a [spouse] [1]
But when her suitors gathered there
Not one showed worth to offer vows

The Clouds could blot away the Sun
But Wind could blow away the Clouds
The Mountain barred the Wind's fair run
And Sun's bright light left Mountain cowed [2]

She sighed and wished the one for her
When wolfish voice said at her side
"Frost Maid, so fair, do not despair
On one a maid need not decide"

"The fight of life will often sting
And love will help you see it through
So marry each for what they bring
And forge your clan from [this] mighty view"

Footnotes:
[1] The original Nordic word does not have an exact translation, but "spouse" is its closest equivalent.
[2] In the original, this line conveys a sense of smothering or drowning.
