“Where now are the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the harp on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?

Who shall gather the smoke of the deadwood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?”
