Nay, in the well-spring of thine eyes I'd wash my guilty soul, And them that maddened me chastise By rock and tree, foul elfin spies, — Yea, slay the jeering troll ! Victorious then I'd leap and cry To God in instant prayer : " Oh bless with sunshine far and nigh Her path made smooth and fair." Ha, what ? Was not my calling war ? Bom fighter, bold and stout ? Far better boon I'll beg him for: " Kind God, make steep her path and sore. With foes for me to rout." S- Let rain-swoU'n mountain torren...ts roar Athwart her slippery path ; Grant landslip and moraine whereo'er No maid safe footing hath ; Then I'll upbear her with strong arm. How mad soe'er the flood ; My breast her pillow, who'll alarm. Who threaten her with shame or harm I He rueth it in blood. Part 2. I. Far he came from southlands hither. Mark his high and pallid forehead, Round him northlights gleam and wither Lurid to a blood-sheen horrid. Sobs sardonic choke his laughter ; Dumb his lips — yet vaguely mutter, Whence there dawns no meaning after More than wind-smit rocks can utter.
