But that day of the days what grief should let us, When we saw through the clouds the dale-glad sun? We tore at the tangle that beset us, And stood at peace when the day was done. Hall of the Happy, take our greeting! Bid thou the Fathers come and see The Folk-signs on thy walls a-meeting, And deem to-day what men we be. Look on the Holy Hearth new-litten, How the sparks fly twinkling up aloof!
