Thou rememberest all regret
For the scarce remembered kiss, The lost dream of how they met, Mouths once parched with misery. Then seemed Love born but to die, Now unrest, pain, bliss are one, Love, unhidden and alone. THE KING OF DENMARK'S SONS. In Denmark gone is many a year, So fair upriseth the rim of the sun, Two sons of Gorm the King there were, So grey is the sea when day is done. Both these were gotten in lawful bed Of Thyrre Denmark's Surety-head. Fair was Knut of face and limb As the breast of the Queen that suckled him. But Harald was hot of hand and heart As lips of lovers ere they part. Knut sat at home in all men's love, But over the seas must Harald rove. |
