by Jónas Hallgrímsson (1807 - 1845)

Heimþrá 
Language: Icelandic (Íslenska) 
Reikult er rótlaust þangið,
rekst það um víðan sjá,
straumar og votir vindar
velkja því til og frá.

Fuglar flugu yfir hafið
með fögnuði og vængjagný,
-- hurfu út í himinblámann
hratt eins og vindlétt ský.

Þangið, sem horfði á hópinn,
var hnipið allan þann dag.
Bylgjan, sem bar það uppi,
var blóðug um sólarlag.
