If fain the lord | of the folk wouldst find;

(The hill is open, | Helgi is come;)

The sword-tracks bleed; | the monarch bade

That thou his wounds | shouldst now make well.”

Sigrun went in the hill to Helgi, and said:

[a]42]. “Now am I glad | of our meeting together,

As Othin’s hawks, | so eager for prey,

When slaughter and flesh | all warm they scent,

Or dew-wet see | the red of day.
