THE SONGS OF RANILD.
SONG THE FIRST.
Up Riber’s street the dance they ply,
The Castle’s won, the Castle’s won!
There dance the knights most merrily,
For young King Erik Erikson.
On Riber’s bridge the dance it goes,
The Castle’s won, the Castle’s won!
There dance the knights in scollop’d shoes,
For young King Erik Erikson.
’Twas Riber Wolf the dance who led,
The Castle’s won, the Castle’s won!
In faith to his King he had been bred,
For young King Erik Erikson.
