Án Lv 2VIII (Án 2)/4 — af ‘off’

Vel þér, selja;         stendr þú sjó nær
        laufguð harla vel.
Maðr skekkr af þér         morgindöggvar,
en ek at þegni þrey         nátt sem dag.

Vel þér, selja; þú stendr nær sjó, laufguð harla vel. Maðr skekkr morgindöggvar af þér, en ek þrey at þegni nátt sem dag.

It is well for you, willow-tree; you stand near the sea, very well covered with leaves. One shakes the morning dews off you, but I yearn for a freeman night and day.
