(Sun-bright south-maid, | ere thou sleepest;)

Each falls like blood | on the hero’s breast,

(Burned-out, cold, | and crushed with care.)

[45]. “Well shall we drink | a noble draught,

Though love and lands | are lost to me;

No man a song | of sorrow shall sing,

Though bleeding wounds | are on my breast; [[329]]

Now in the hill | our brides we hold,

The heroes’ loves, | by their husbands dead.”

Sigrun made ready a bed in the hill.
