Whether mine eyes look out or look in

Nought do they deal with thee."

O it was Hafbur the King's son

Began to sew at last;

He sowed the hart, and he sewed the hind,

As they flee from the hound so fast.

He sewed the lily, and he sewed the rose,

And the little fowls of the air;

Then fell the damsels a-marvelling,

For nought had they missed him there.
