text and translation

Hér vit skiljumz        ok hittaz munum
        á feginsdegi fira;
dróttinn minn        gefi þeim dauðum ró
        ok hinum líkn, er lifa.

Hér skiljumz vit ok munum hittaz á feginsdegi fira; dróttinn minn gefi þeim dauðum ró ok líkn hinum, er lifa.
 
‘Here we two part and we will meet on men’s day of joy; may my Lord give to the dead peace, and grace to those who live.

notes and context

Many eds have regarded this as the final st. of the original Sólarljóð and do not include st. 83.
