Hann veitti birtu á bádar hendur,
um baeinn sérhvert kvöld
hann luktar Gvendur á liðinni öld
Á gráum hærum gloggt var kenndur
vid glampa á ljosafjöld
hann luktar Gvendur á lidinni öld
Hann heyrdist ganga hægt og hljótt
um hverja götu fram á nott
Hans hjartasá med bros á brá
ef ungan sveinn og yngismey
hann adeins sá hann kveikti ei
en eftirlét theim rókkur skuggablá
Í endur minning æskutid
hann aftur leit, en ástmey blid
Hann örmum vafði fast svo ung og smá
Hann veitti birtu á bádar hendur
um bæinn sérhvert kvöld
hann luktar Gvendur á lidinni öld
Hann heyrdist ganga haegt og hljótt
um hverja götu fram á nott
Hans hjartasá med bros á brá
ef ungan sveinn og yngismey
hann adeins sá hann kveikti ei
en eftirlét theim rókkur skuggablá
Í endur minning aeskutid
hann aftur leit, en ástmey blid
Hann örmum vafði fast svo ung og smá
Hann veitti birtu á bádar hendur
um baeinn sérhvert kvöld
hann luktar Gvendur á lidinni öl
