Drualt took Freya's warm hand, Her strong hand, Her sword hand, And pressed it to his lips, Pressed it to his heart. Come with me, ' he said. Come with me to battle, My love. Tarry at my side. Stay with me When battle is done. Tarry at my side. Laugh with me, And walk with me The long, long way. Tarry with me, My love, at my side.Gail Carson Levine
About This Quote
This is a romantic poem, dedicated to a woman named Freya. In the poem, Freya’s love for her husband is expressed in a romantic, poetic form. The hand of Freya is described as warm and strong, which symbolizes the strength of their love. The poet tells her that he loves her hand for its strength and its warmth, but he presses her hand to his lips because he wants to kiss her.
He wants to kiss her hand because she is so important to him. He kisses her hand because he loves it. Then he says that if she follows him into battle, then he wants her to stay with him there and not run away from the fighting because their love will overcome any difficulties they may face there together.
And finally, he asks her to stay with him after battle is over and after all the fighting has stopped. He says that if she does not come with him into battle, then he wants her to stay with him when battles are over and even walk beside him on the long road home.
