GunnLeif Merl I 88VIII/4 — skógum ‘the forests’

‘Ok á hans dǫgum         harðla brenna
ófs rammligar         eikr ór skógum.
Enn á lítlum         lindar kvistum
vex ǫrliga         akarn í lundi.

‘Ok á dǫgum hans brenna ófs rammligar eikr ór skógum harðla. Enn vex akarn ǫrliga á lítlum kvistum lindar í lundi.

‘And in his days exceedingly mighty oaks from the forests will burn fiercely. Once more an acorn will grow rapidly on the slender twigs of the lime-tree in the grove.
