XXIV.

Blow the Clarion of Victory, loud Hero-Horn-Jallar,
Great Heimdall, the golden-lipped waker of Gods!
Gather all the great souls in the Halls of Valhalla,
Baldar waits now to crown them in Odin's Abodes!
Blow the Pæan of Glory for the Heroes of Freedom,
Till they rise, all redeemed, to their Halcyon abodes;
Wake the Nations from sleep—all the ransomed now lead home,
With thy thunder-trump blazon, great Waker of Gods!
Hark! the beautiful Baldar God's Telyn is sounding—
Heaven's Apples now fall from Iduna's sweet Tree—
Theobroma, with life everlasting abounding,
For the souls of the Beautiful, the souls of the Free.
Strike—strike the bold harp! &c.
