Are there any (in English) "cute" toasts or blessings that the
Scandanavia countries have/use? For instance, there is the "Irish
Blessing" for Ireland. I'm looking for something several lines long,
not a one-word toast or blessing.

I am not quite sure what yopu are looking for.
a) Something (a saying, proverb, or something) used in a Scandinavian
country, which can be translated into English for subsequent use among
English-speakers (presumably Americans)? (Presumably as a toast?)
or
b) Something in English that would be used in front of a Scandinavian
audience?

Something like the Irish blessing:
May the roads rise to meet you,
May wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Does this help? Thanks for your reply.
