¶Lyrics / Text

From "Twilight of the gods" by Thomas James Mathias (1754-1835), lines 61-72 Why does beauteous Lina weep? Whence those lorn notes in accent deep? A day of war!—prepare, prepare: Aloft in distant realms of air, Mark the murd'rous monster stalk, In printless majesty of walk. Odin fearless meets the shock, The towers of heaven around him rock; Though arm'd in panoply divine, He yields, and owns the fated sign; To the mansions drear he turns: In vain the beauteous Lina mourns.
