Began to toll ... and sudden fire

Flared at me from the road, a pyre

It seemed, to burn our bodies in ...

And I fell down, far down, within

The pit’s mouth ... and my brain went blind....

I woke—a cold sun rose behind

Black evil hills—my love knelt near

Beside a stream, her golden hair

Streaming across the grass—below

The Solway eddied to and fro,
