English poem
The well-beloved bedmate of the War-Scylfing leader
by J. Lesslie Hall (1856–1928)
The well-beloved bedmate of the War-Scylfing leader. Then glory in battle to Hrothgar was given, Waxing of war-fame, that willingly kinsmen Obeyed his bidding, till the boys grew to manhood, 15 A numerous band. It burned in his spirit To urge his folk to found a great building, A mead-hall grander than men of the era
More by J. Lesslie Hall
- The Half-Danish hero, Hnæf of the Scyldings
- The Hoard and the Dragon
- The kindred of Cain crushed with His vengeance
- The men of the Weders made accordingly
- Tis time I were faring; Father Almighty
- To behold the hoard 'neath the hoar-grayish stone
- Wielded the Weders. Wide-fleeing outlaws
- {No sword will harm the monster.}
