THE VIKING FUNERAL

Mother, what is happening?

Why do you weep, pray tell

Your father has died

my little one, before

he even knew you well.

He is sailing his last

long voyage

He is journeying

far away

Never to be seen again

on any other day

Say goodbye to your father,

my dear one

Remember him in your heart

for someday we will join him

and never again will we part.
