Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... 'Scatter flowers wet with tears, On her bier, on her bier, Flowers wet with maiden's tears, Ye who loved her dear--' Now who comes riding with brow so bold, In hunting garb of green and gold, His cap set light 'mong his curling hair, Bedecked with feather for forest wear?

For the Neck is playing his harp by the ford; He calleth and claimeth a guest for his board, In his cavern under the mere.
