        Hast stolen the strength.
How hast thou betrayed me, against me how sinned!
        Oh, let me go!
Else drag me down to death and dishonor,
        Be quick, make an end!
        Life for me is over,
        Before ’t is begun.”

“Goest thou, Ingigerd, then dies out forever
        The light from my life.”
“Mine died out when this night was kindled
        Fire in our home.
What thou bearest is but the ashes,
        Strew them abroad
Over thy path like a corpse-gray carpet….
        May it adorn
        And deck with glory
        Thy chieftain track.”

Amidst the noise and laughter about him
        Lifted he her
Free from his arms and gently set her
        Down at his feet.
Spoke not a word, but set his gaze only
        Where yonder she passed,
Wending back toward the fire-scarred farmstead,
        The mountain-side down.
        And still he stood there
        When she had vanished.
