Thorolfr inn
Smithr Silent and steady
Your longship of
service Rides high in the waves
Lapstraked with
offices Riveted with
modesty
Through winters of
counsel And summers of action
Quilliam intrepid Dagmar, most kindly
Make you a fine
gift Heart of a maiden
Born from the sky
jewel Wed to the swan’s road
Heralds your
conquests Safeguards your sailings

day of June
