The Visitor

"Who is this mighty man outside

The one who killed the trolls?

Will he be staying here tonight

Or turning where the thunder rolls?"

"The thunder rolls whereever I travel on my way

Tonight I will be here don't cry

Save you are to stay"

"You are a lord that I can see

A god you are as well

What is your mighty name to be?

This you're bound to tell"

"I'm Thor, the mighty god

The lord of rain and storm

Now build a fire

For feast it shall be warm"

"There is no feast we have no meat

My lord, I am afraid to say

Hunger will be in our seat

There is no feast today"

"My goat will give a live for all

So we have all we need

I'll kill it now, a roast, I call

my friend, for us you'll bleed

Don't break a bone of him tonight

Not the smallest one you'll harm

If you do, you little wight

The mighty Thor will not be calm"

"Delicious is the meal for us

The marrow I would greed

I'll break a little bone and thus

fullfill my baneful need"

The mighty Thor revived his friend

In the morning with his hammer

To bring him to the Aesirs land

In the used and wonted manner

"Who broke his leg the night before?

I told you not to do

I told you what will be afore

My rage now comes to you"

The goat's alive again but lame

One of you has harmed a bone

One of you is bearing blame

He will be punished, he alone"

"I was the one I broke the leg

My lust was just too big

I fear there is no use to beg

To your decision I will stick"

"Thjalfi you will follow brave

On each and every way

No matter how your soul will crave

For each and every day"
