[“Nay thou shalt be dead, O warrior, thou shalt not see the Hall]

[Wood-Sun.]
“Nay thou shalt be dead, O warrior, thou shalt not see the Hall
Nor the children of thy people 'twixt the dais and the wall.
And I, and I shall be living; still on thee shall waste my thought:
I shall long and lack thy longing; I shall pine for what is nought.”
