ARNLJOT GELLINE

None sought for them
The day after.

Only the corpses

On which they lay
Knew they had been.
Long and lawless

The course of their life;
One faithful hour
Redeemed it.

The font baptismal

The Saviour offered,
With their own warm blood
They filled.

Therein they plunged,
Therefrom they rose,
Mercy beseeching.

The King behind a shield-wall
Hitherto had battled,

Now he bade it open,

Went forth:

“Follow me now, comrades,

The Lord will guard

Of his own the banner
This day!”

When the ring was opened,
Stood he out illumined
’Mid the thick darkness
Around.
