w.
here the fair Sound floweth Clasp'd 'twixt either shore, Like a warder showeth Kronborg's fortress hoar.
Scarce one cable's length From the ramparts high, The dark fleets in their strength Sail unheeding by.
Hush'd the cannon's threats, Once had bid them stay; Nought but sea-smoke frets Walls and turrets gray.
In a vault, so deep, Day thereto scarce gains, Sleeps a warrior's sleep Holger, Dane of Danes: 26 Holger, who afar Gainst the hosts of Spain, In the van of war, Rode with Charlemagne.
...All undimm'd his mail, All unstain'd his crest, His hand on his brand, Taketh he his rest.
When each hundredth year Hath fulfiU'd its span, To that dungeon drear Flies a wild white swan.
The hero, in slumber.
Turns his head and prays : — 'God fashion in number For Denmark joyous days; 'What cheer hath my Land, What cheer hath my Lord, Lies Peace in his hand.
Hath Fame sheath'd his sword?' 'Of Bitterness and Pain Hath thy Land full store, But the soul of the Dane Burneth as of yore!' — 27 Thus the swan replieth: — By some frozen main Then to couch him hieth Hundred years again.
