   • Á Sprengisandi (“On Sprengisandur”) by Grímur Thomsen

     Ríðum, ríðum og rekum yfir sandinn,

     rennur sól á bak við Arnarfell,

     hér á reiki er margur óhreinn andinn,

     úr því fer að skyggja á jökulsvell;

     Drottinn leiði drösulinn minn,

     drjúgur verður síðasti áfanginn.

     threaten in the gloom over the glacier's ice.

     The Lord leads my horse,

     it is still a long, long way home.
