Then do all men turn homeward. Nine steps only away from the monster Staggers the son of Earth. Garm howls at the Gnipa-hollow of Hel. What was fast loosens, and Freke runs free. She sees rising another earth from the sea, Once more turning green.
Torrents tumble, eagle soars From the mountains, seeking fish.
The races had owned. Harvests shall grow on unsown fields, All ills be redressed, and Balder shall come. With him Hoder shall build on Ropt's sacred soil As gentle gods of the Chosen. She sees a hall more fair than the sun, Gilded, glowing on Gimle. And Joy in serenity during long ages.
