Stories and poems by Guðmundur Haraldsson.

Guðmundur Haraldsson was born in Merkisteini in Eyrarbakki on May 4, 1918. His parents were Haraldur Guðmundsson from Stóra-Háeyri in Eyrarbakki, a descendant of Þorleif the Rich in Háeyri, and his wife, Þuríður Magnúsdóttir from Árgilsstöðir in Rangárþing. Guðmundur was a sailor and laborer until he was over fifty, when he became a writer and published various works with episodes, stories and poems. Guðmundur Haraldsson died in Reykjavík in 1995.

The murder of Gudmundur by Haraldsson


Gudmundur has fine qualities,

A flood of intelligence from your eyes.

His poems are pure as linen,

and smooth as fine wine.


Gudmundur with a crown of rays,

an intellectual of this country.

Its sector-breaking brands

points to the devil's side.


Gvendur always makes a good living,

sparkles in the hand of a style weapon wielded.

Many a swan has sung,

and usually sleeps with them.


Although Gudmundur is a lazy person,

and flames in deep, twisted wounds.

The warrior never wavers.

He happily pinches the wine's tears.


When the poet grabbed a glass,

The crowd was happy.

But if he gets into a persistent struggle,

slaves read an angry letter.


I will now finish composing poetry,

A birch tree leaves on the poet's hillside,

May gentle prosperity surround you,

my friend at all times.


Gudm. Ágústsson.
