Riding Through the Woods

Silibrand drove up high in the airy loft
All beneath the green linden tree
There he saw his daughter in the grove go
Riding so carefully through the woods with her

Oh woe is me, woe is me, what I now see
All beneath the green linden tree
I see my daughter, she comes to me
Riding so carefully through the woods with her

Silibrand throws out his cloak so blue
All beneath the green linden tree
She gives birth to two sturdy sons
Riding so carefully through the woods with her

My father, I shall give my gray steed
All beneath the green linden tree
So he can ride to the church up high
Riding so carefully through the woods with her

My sister, I shall give my seven gold rings
All beneath the green linden tree
That I haven't had since I stood as a bride
Riding so carefully through the woods with her

My brother, I shall give my small gloves
All beneath the green linden tree
That he shall have wherever he goes
Riding so carefully through the woods with her

One to Freya's baptism they lead
All beneath the green linden tree
The other to Valhalla's hall
Riding so carefully through the woods with her
