   • 1928, Krummavísa (“Raven Song”, on the Icelandic Wikisource) by Jón Ásgeirsson

     Krummi krunkar úti,

     kallar á nafna sinn:

     „Ég fann höfud af hrúti

     hrygg og gæruskinn.“

     Komdu nú og kroppaðu með mér,

     krummi nafni minn.

     “Krummi croaks outside,

     calling his namesake:

     ‘I found the head of a ram,

     backbone and sheepskin.’

     Come now and peck with me,

     Krummi, my namesake.”

   • Á Sprengisandi (“On Sprengisandur”) by Grímur Thomsen

     Ríðum, ríðum og rekum yfir sandinn,

     rennur sól á bak við Arnarfell,

     hér á reiki er margur óhreinn andinn,

     úr því fer að skyggja á jökulsvell;

     Drottinn leiði drösulinn minn,

     drjúgur verður síðasti áfanginn.

     Ride, ride, ride hard across the sands,

     the sun is settling behind Arnarfell.

     Here many spirits of the dark

     threaten in the gloom over the glacier's ice.

     The Lord leads my horse,

     it is still a long, long way home.

   Þetta er maðurinn minn, hann Þorlákur.

   This is my husband Þorlákur.
