 | CHAPTER VIII. THE FOLK-MOTE OF THE MARKMEN.
The Collected Works of William Morris |  |
[“O kindreds of the Markmen, hearken the words I say]
[Dayling Warrior.]“O kindreds of the Markmen, hearken the words I say;
For no chancehap assembly is gathered here to-day.
The fire hath gone around us in the hands of our very kin,
And twice the horn hath sounded, and the Thing is hallowed in.
Will ye hear or forbear to hearken the tale there is to tell?
There are many mouths to tell it, and a many know it well.
And the tale is this, that the foemen against our kindreds fare
Who eat the meadows desert, and burn the desert bare.”
