With pictures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Undína (1858 - 1941) was from Litla-Ásgeirsá in Víðidalur in Húnaþing, the daughter of Baldvin Helgason and Soffía Jósafatsdóttir. They first settled in Rousseau in Muskoka, Ontario, and later in North Dakota. Undína was married twice, her first husband was a drunkard and she divorced him, the second died in 1904. \u003cbr\u003eShe then lived on the west coast until her death, her last years in the care of her daughter Sophia. Undína wrote most before and around the turn of the century, but little after that. She attracted the deserved attention of Western literary figures. Her poems are simple and poetic, many of them patriotic poems. Her best poems are sad and romantic, revealing the settlers' sense of rootlessness in a simple way. A complete edition of her poems was published in 1952, Poems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChristmas around\u003cbr\u003e the day\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I remember how sad that day was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e and the look was deadly,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e that sad, heavy-featured tone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e all visible existence bar;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was dark, the sun was not visible,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e and yet Christmas had arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The storm on the roof was raging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e and half filled the window with snow,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e lonely in a stormy moment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e the oaks in passing calm,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e because the radiant healing sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e She couldn't keep it warm at Christmas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My heart was filled with sorrow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It's a holiday, so sad I look;;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e but my hope was stirred in my heart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e and my prayer became sure and fervent,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e to the brilliant, life-giving sun\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThen the next Christmas will come.","brand":"Bókin.is","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51119779610952,"sku":"OSC-71923","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/4029\/9848\/files\/86710.jpg?v=1754691429","url":"https:\/\/www.bokin.is\/en\/products\/kvaei-eptir-undinu-86710-71923","provider":"bokin.is","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
