All welling of tears, the wonder to look on.

Found they then on the sand, now lacking of soul,

Holding his bed, him that gave them the rings

In time erewhile gone by. But then was the end-day

Gone for the good one; since the king of the battle,

The lord of the Weders, in wonder-death died.

But erst there they saw a more seldom-seen sight,

The Worm on the lea-land over against him

Down lying there loathly; there was the fire-drake,

The grim of the terrors, with gleeds all beswealed.
