lyrics

Gröfin

Hvar er í heimi hæli tryggt
og hvíld og mæðufró?
Hvar bærist aldrei hjarta hryggt?
Hvar heilög drottnar ró?

Það er hin djúpa dauðra gröf,
- þar dvínar sorg og stríð -,
er sollin lífs fyrir handan höf
er höfn svo trygg og blíð.

[...]

Þú læknar hjartans svöðusár
og svæfir auga þreytt,
þú þerrar burtu tregatár
og trygga hvíld fær veitt.

Þú griðastaður mæðumanns,
ó, myrka, þögla gröf!
Þú ert hið eina hæli hans
og himins náðargjöf.


Kristján Jónsson
1842 - 1869
