Shining through the lofty chestnuts,
All illumined by the moonlight.
Yonder rose up from the river
By the shore a bank of gravel,
Bare and barren; it was often
Flooded over by the river.
Out of fun the country people
Called it [field of Fridolinus].
Thither now the frail boat drifted;
There it halted on the shelving
