Down they marched to the shore, bright boys reveling in metal dress and battle-gains, stamping in glee. 1890 The land-watch took note of them from afar, as he had at their arrival, this time without rancor— he raised his hand and rode in greeting, arriving as they boarded their vessel, gifts glinting in sunlight. He announced to the assembled that the departing heroes would surely be celebrated in Geatland.


They pulled the ship to sand and filled it with a king’s ransom: gems and gold, horses and armor, the mast marking the spot of their treasure. They hefted Hrothgar’s heirlooms whole cloth into the hold, gifting even the coastguard 1900 a sword, gold-wrapped and gorgeous, so that later he’d be able to flash it while drinking, and say he’d been there when.They shoved the ship from the spit, keel splashing into salt, Denmark soon distant. Sails whipped about her mast, a veil for her sea-gaze. Ropes tautened and timbers moaned. Winds surged to skip the vessel like a smooth stone across the ocean, white with foam, lifted by light, until at last the cry was heard, 1910 the cliffs of Geatland grown visible, counted, claimed, and the ship sang out for the final push, thrusting herself at the shore, shoving keel at country.
