ARNLJOT GELLINE

Mighty he stood on a mound,
Beheld of all.

‘The bishop arose,

Then before all the host

Fell the King on his knees

And prayed.

Humbly confessed he his sins,
Was heard, and upon him then
Was absolution bestowed.

When he rose up,

The light of redeeming grace
Shone from his visage.

Before his face like the sun

His followers fell on their knees,
Commended their souls unto God,
Prayed and confessed,

In secret vowed to the King
Their faith, and arose,

Joined in the mass, intoned

In the dewy cool of the morn,
Felt themselves cleansed,

As a bird that springs from his bath,
And sings.

Then went they on,

Pushing aside the branches

Wet from the night.

Beasts were flushed,

And birds flew screaming about.
Deep in the woods,
