Eyes he hath like a burning brand; With his mouth he well can roar; His nails stand out, like the horns of a buck.

Excerpt from Ballads From the Danish: And Original Verses
King Olaf and The Trolls
He set his sail for Norroway,
Saint Olaf our good king;
For Hornelummer he shaped his course
To see what luck would bring.
(Red as the ruddy gold, the sun sets over Trondhjem.)
Up and spake the steersman bold,
Stood by the lading-gear:
"At Hornelummer is no good haven,
So grim a troll dwells there:
"Eyes he hath like a burning brand;
With his mouth he well can roar;
His nails stand out, like the horns of a buck,
A good ell's length and more;
"A beard he hath like a horse's mane,
Hangs downward to his knee;
A long and loathly tail he hath;
His claws they are ill to see."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an anthology of Danish ballads and original Victorian poetry. The Victorian written pieces were inspired by Danish literature and Scandinavian legend, and there are several translations of traditional Danish ballads. The author has attempted to bridge the gap between the two cultures by presenting them together, for the enjoyment of the English reader. These narrative poems resonate with themes of love, honor, and death and offer insights into the interconnected lives and beliefs of Danish and Victorian peoples.
