High memories with power br Shine through the wintry North br On every peak's white tower, br On Kattegat so swarth. br All is so still and spacious, ` br The Northern Lights flow free, br Creating bright and gracious br A day of memory. br br Each deed the North defending, br Each thought for greater might, br A star-like word is sending br Down through the frosty night! br To hope they call and boldness, br And call with double cheer br To him, defying coldness, br On guard the Eider near. br br No anxious shadows clouding, br No languid, lukewarm mist br Our heaven of mem'ries shrouding, br This eve of battle-tryst! br May, as of yore, while ringing br The bells unseen loud swelled, br Come leaders vict'ry bringing, br Whom th' army ne'er beheld.
