Three of Gyrðir’s poems – Í Möðrudal á Fjöllum (In Möðrudalur Valley), Maímorgunljóð (May Morning) and Munað um kvöld (Evening Recollection) – were published in Treasures of Icelandic Verse, an anthology compiled by Árni Sigurjónsson.
In Möðrudalur Valley
Enter the church
and at one end
Jesus is sliding
down the mountain in mid-
sermon and there's
the antiquated organ
the painter played
Through the window light
falls numbed hy grey
clouds in the sky over
Herðubreið and the little
houses here
transl. Bernard Scudder
