" Paler, paler the maidens turn ; Their cheeks grow white, but their black eyes burn.
" If they indeed so beauteous be, Why have they not been ta'en by thee % " Herr Erland shrugged his shoulders up, Laughed, and drank of a brimming cup.
" Now, by our Lady, they were won, Were it not for a deed already done : I sought their mother to lure away, And afterwards did their father slay ! " 30 IHE TWO SISTERS.
Then up they leap, those maidens fair ; Their swords are whistling in the air.
" This for t...empting our mother dear ! " Their red swords whirl, and he shrieks in fear.
" This for the death of our father brave ! " Their red swords smoke with the blood of the knave.
They have hacked him into pieces, small As the yellow leaves that in autumn fall.
Then stalk they forth, and forth they fare ; They ride to a kirk, and kneel in prayer.
Fridays three they in penance pray, The summer comes, the summer goes I They are shriven, and cast their swords away. On the grave of my father the green grass gj^ows !
