Through The Grove (I Riden Sa)

High on the hillside where Silibrand stands
And the green linden whispers so softly
He spied his dear daughter she moved through the land
And through the grove ride gently all by her side

His heart full of sorrow as she wanders alone
Where the green linden whispers so softly
His own true heart’s blood, she is calling him home
And through the grove ride gently all by her side

All on the hallowed earth he lay his cape of blue
Where the green linden whispers so softly
And all among wildflowers she gave birth to babies, two
And through the grove ride gently all by her side

Oh father, I must give to you my horse of grey
Where the green linden whispers so softly
For the souls of my sons you must hasten and pray
And through the grove ride gently all by her side

My sister she shall have my seven golden rings
Where the green linden whispers so softly
My brother these gloves, so that I shall ride with him
And through the grove ride gently all by her side

Grieve not and don’t cry for the fate of our souls
Where the green linden whispers so softly
In Valhalla’s court and in Freya’s great hall
And through the grove ride gently all by her side

And through the grove ride gently all by her side
