CHAPTER XVIII. THE DEATH OF HELGA THE FAIR.

[Songs extracted from the prose narrative.]


47

[“Dead in mine arms she droopeth]

[Thorkel.]
“Dead in mine arms she droopeth,
My dear one, gold-rings' bearer,
For God hath changed the life-days
Of this Lady of the linen.
Weary pain hath pined her,
But unto me, the seeker
Of hoard of fishes' highway,
Abiding here is wearier.”
