Njord...

Njord, who with ocean’s god,
1
Full oft in league is found,
Loves o’er the raging flood
In swift career to bound.
Skimming each billow’s back,
Loud neighs his coal-black steed,
On the calm wave no track
He leaves—so great his speed.



Adam Gottlob Oehlenschläger

Translation by Grenville Pigott, in "A Manual of Scandinavian Mythology, Containing a
