A very evocative piece, full of rich imagery. I think the meaning is quite clear - it's the story of a viking warrior's romance with a lady, who has to part with her because springtime has come, teh flords are opening and the men prepare to sail to war. Before he leaves, he arranges to meet her by "the well..." in order to propose marriage. Presumably she says "yes", because what kind of stone-hearted woman would resist such an eloquent proposal?
