Húsdrápa is a skaldic poem partially preserved in the Prose Edda where disjoint stanzas of it are quoted. It is attributed to the skald Úlfr Uggason. The poem describes mythological scenes carved on kitchen panels. In the stanzas that have come down to us three such scenes are described.
Húsdrápa is often compared with Haustlöng and Ragnarsdrápa which also describe artworks depicting mythological scenes.
The poem is mentioned in Laxdæla saga:
"The wedding feast was a very crowded one, for the new hall was finished. Ulf Uggason was of the bidden guests, and he had made a poem on Olaf Hoskuldson and of the legends that were painted round the hall, and he gave it forth at the feast. This poem is called the House Song, and is well made. Olaf rewarded him well for the poem."
Steady thinking about you
Never thought my whole world would be about you
The way you make me feel inside
My love is filled with so much of your pride
I believe when you say you love me
Because I can see it in your eyes
The way you touching, holding me, showing me
How much you want to be with me
Boy, your distracting me
Your on my mind constantly
You don't even have to be around
You purged my soul with this love we found
With you near, there's no reason to cry
You bring joy to my life, oh my!
Your qualities has made me wanting more
And your personality is what I've been looking for
You delight my senses
And when I look into your eyes, oh my!
I've seen so many amazing things
But non as genuine as the love you bring
I'm relieved of all the stress I bared in the past
Only to be replaced of thought's of a love that'll last
Boy, your distracting me
Your on my mind constantly
You don't even have to be around
You purged my soul with this love we found
With you near, there's no reason to cry
You bring joy to my life, oh my!
Beautiful intentions and no sign of a jinx
I'm showered with romance and many other things
Your my cushion at night and my angel in flight
Your my protein, the morphine that settles my pain
Your my backbone, my spine
Without you I'm paralized
Boy, your distracting me
Your on my mind constantly
You don't even have to br around
You purged my soul with this love we found
With you near, there's no reason to cry
