A poem by Thorvald Steinason.
Sindur af suguslóðum is the first and only book by Þorvaldur Steinason, the collector.

In Þjóðviljan, July 19, 1970, there is an interview with Þorvald, which discusses, among other things, Þorvald's book of poetry, Sindur af söguslóðum, which had just been published. There, Þorvald says about his poetry: - Poetry has been
my leisure time. I have
never been another or more
but a poor poet, but I have thrown away
forward, and both of them
half and half, if that's the case
under. However, I have attached
little of them on paper. I have
nothing about it. But now it is
A folk songbook has been published after me.
It is in six categories and this
are all historical poems. Four of the groups are written about events in Icelandic history, but there are other
ways than we were taught in
school. One party is there
for example, thoughts about the bridge
at Barnafoss waterfall in Hvítá. In the sixth
I will take care of the issue.
The Seven Years' War. It can be called,
that I tell a story in rhyme, it seemed
Steinunn from Sjöundá is there
taken as a character and made
such, I expect that more
can read there the story of those who
have rejected the opposite side of life.

This book is called SINDUR OF
HISTORY and the first reference in the category about Steinunn
while she waits in the prison in Reykjavík for the death sentence, it's like this:


Staying awake over the winter cold

hopes are dwindling, the sky, the sun

lower victory, flagpole

The elephant is now covering Christmas.
