My brother lies untimely slain:

Numbed is the mighty arm that slew

The leaders of the giant crew.

Transfixed with shafts, with blood-streams red,

Thou liest on thy lowly bed:

So sinks to rest, his journey done,

Mid arrowy rays the crimson sun.

Thou, when from home and sire I fled,

The wood's wild ways with me wouldst tread:

Now close to thine my steps shall be,
