He says that this is because every tear she has shed has fallen wet and cold on him. In spite of this, she prepares a bed inside his mound of soil and they spend a wonderful night together. However, Helgi has to return to Valhalla before the break of dawn. Sigrún then returns home and spends the rest of her life waiting in vain for Helgi to come back to his barrow one more time. And that is the end of the saga. |
