The longest poem in Bjoernson's collection is called "Bergliot," and is a dramatic monologue in which the foul slaying of her husband Ejnar Tambarskelve and their son Ejndride is mourned by the bereaved wife and mother. The story is from the saga of Harald Haardraada, and is treated with the deepest tragic impressiveness. "Odin in Valhal I dare not seek For him I forsook in my childhood.
Drive slowly: Thus drove Ejnar ever; Soon enough shall we reach home." It was also to the "Heimskringla" that Bjoernson turned for the subject of his epic cycle, "Arnljot Gelline."
