From the field of spears again;

For the boy’s high heart too wildly burns,

Till it rests amidst the slain!”

“Thou canst not say that he lies low,

The lovely and the brave:

Oh! none could look on his joyous brow,

And think upon the grave!

Dark, dark perchance the day

Hath been with valour’s fate;

But he is on his homeward way
