Kringsatt av fiender by Nordahl Grieg

It is a beautiful, solemn, and ultimately uplifting, life affirming poem by Nordahl Grieg that is frequently sung in Denmark and Norway when evil gets too close. On 9/11 we were surrounded by evil and Kringsatt was one of the songs I found myself humming, almost by instinct, because "War is contempt for life, Peace is creation. Death's march is halted by our determination"
