After the war-leader fare wide afield

On behalf of the heroes: nor joy of the harp is,

No game of the glee-wood; no goodly hawk now

Through the hall swingeth; no more the swift horse

Beateth the burg-stead. Now hath bale-quelling

A many of life-kin forth away sent.

Suchwise sad-moody moaned in sorrow

One after all, unblithely bemoaning

By day and by night, till the welling of death

Touch'd at his heart. The old twilight-scather
