So Spoke the Skald 02 – Second in the series for Viking Town, Gudvangen …and I Recall Forever Who Is Our Chieftain

As my stay here in the magical Gudvangen builds up towards the finale of the Viking Market I step back up to my pledge to post a skaldic piece every day. Here is my second one…
…and I Recall Forever Who Is Our Chieftain
I recall the day
I was asked by Olafr Reydarsson to stand by him to be his Skald
I recall the day that the man Georg called to my audience
that he would like to have me by his side at all times
I recall the day he said he would like me to never leave this old land
I recall the day I heard my chief was ill
I recall the day I heard he had stood again
I recall the day I was announced by him, in York, as the Skald of Jorvik
I recall the day I first stepped among these many Viking people
I recall the day I first met Georg
I recall the day he smiled
I recall the day he smiled at my challenging ways
I recall the day he accepted my unusual thoughts
I recall the day he called us all to listen to my words
I recall the day he laughed
I recall the day I sat beside his great chair
I recall the day I was welcomed into his home
I recall the day he called me friend
I recall the day a whole host looked up to him
I recall the day the falls all turned to mist
I recall the day the ship had him at prow
I recall the day no single soul refused
I recall the day I knew I was only one of all
I recall the day he told me of his dreams
I recall the day I knew
I recall the day I pledged to walk by him all time
And I
Recall the day
