The Collected Works of William Morris | ||
“O house of the ancient people, I blessed thee sweet and soft;
In the day of my grief I blessed thee, when my life seemed evil and long;
Look down, O house of Niblungs, on the hapless Brynhild's wrong!
Lest the day & the hour be coming when no man in thy courts shall be left
To remember the woe of Brynhild, and the joy from her life-days reft;
Lest the grey wolf howl in the hall, and the wood-king roll in the porch,
And the moon through thy broken rafters be the Niblungs' feastful torch.”
In the day of my grief I blessed thee, when my life seemed evil and long;
Look down, O house of Niblungs, on the hapless Brynhild's wrong!
Lest the day & the hour be coming when no man in thy courts shall be left
To remember the woe of Brynhild, and the joy from her life-days reft;
Lest the grey wolf howl in the hall, and the wood-king roll in the porch,
And the moon through thy broken rafters be the Niblungs' feastful torch.”
