Their homes and their high burg. Hengest a while yet

Through the slaughter-dyed winter bode dwelling with Finn

And all without strife: he remember'd his homeland,

Though never he might o'er the mere be a-driving

The high prow be-ringed: with storm the holm welter'd,

Won war 'gainst the winds; winter locked the waves

With bondage of ice, till again came another

Of years into the garth, as yet it is ever,

And the days which the season to watch never cease,

The glory-bright weather; then gone was the winter,
