He wandered through landscapes painted
Green by forests and blue by lakes
Until he arrived during the fall of twilight All the way of leagues ten and five
Gathered the villagers around him
To hear the sad news he had to bring
"Three dawns ago in the land towards sunrise
Was thy king slain in a battle at night"
And flowing tears wet women's eyes A gray cloud shadowed the hearts of men
Their king had gone to Tuonela
Had his spirit among them died?
Had it gone away with the flames
That burned his warship The nightwinds had called his name
Hiding in daytime then returning at night
The gods got another man brave Weeks after the funeral was seen a shadow gray
Roaming in the woods of the eastern land
Haunting in the minds of the mortals who killed a king.
