Andvakur. Selection. Poems by Stephan G. Stephansson. Sigurður Nordal published, wrote the foreword and traces the life of Stephan G.
From Stephan G.'s Icelanders' Day speech from 1904:
Although you traveled far and wide
every land underfoot,
carry mind and heart
still your homeland's match,
cousin of volcano and ice ocean!
Sifji River Falls and what!
Daughter of Langholt and Lyngmós!
Son of a landowner and a scoundrel!
Across the world or the sky
whether your mind is a ghost,
decorate waterfalls and mountain slopes
all your future countries!
Far away in the eternal sea
Your island awakens:
a nightless spring world,
where the panorama shines.
It is an Icelandic dreamland,
over which you live,
only the flower-covered rocks,
every glacier warms,
cousin of volcano and ice ocean!
Sifji River Falls and what!
Daughter of Langholt and Lyngmós!
Son of a landowner and a scoundrel!
