But the sun was hot on the deadly sands

Before Jerusalem town.'

All day Red Ithel lay dying there,

But he thought of the far-off sea;

And he cried all day till his lips grew white,

"Kind Bronwen, come to me!"

And so it passed till the evening time,

And then the sea-wind came,

And he thought he lay on Morva Hill

And heard her call his name.
