 | CHAPTER V. OSBERNE SLAYS THE WOLVES.
The Collected Works of William Morris |  |
19
[On the wind-weary bent]
[Osberne.]On the wind-weary bent
The grey ones they went,
Growled the greedy and glared
On the sheep-kin afeared;
Low looked the bright sun
On the battle begun,
For they saw how the swain
Stood betwixt them and gain.
'Twas the spear in the belly, the spear in the mouth,
And a warp of the shield from the north to the south,
The spear in the throat, and the eyes of the sun
Scarce shut as the last of the battle was done.
