Explore "Tegnér's Drapa" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I heard a voice, that cried, / "Balder the Beautiful / Is dead, is dead! " / And through the misty air / Passed like the mournful cry / Of sunward sailing cranes.
I saw the pallid corpse / Of the dead sun / Borne through the Northern sky. / Blasts from Niffelheim / Lifted the sheeted mists / Around him as he passed.
