"God adored! What a mighty wonder — When the army on Kosovo gathered!
In that army, nine were sons of Yugo, And tenth was old Bogdan, great Yug Bogdan.
The Yugoviches' mother prayed of God, That the eyes of falcons* God would give her, And white wings of the swan, she prayed He'd give, That she might fly to far Kosovo Plain, And might see there the nine Yugoviches With them, the tenth, the great old Yug Bogdan.
Dead, she finds, there, the Yugoviches nine, And tenth of them, old Yug Bogdan lay d...ead!
But that mother's heart set hard like stone, And from that heart no tear fell down. Instead, she takes the nine good horses there, And to her Castle white, she then goes back.
When it was light, the hour of new-born day, Two vultures come a-flying, raven black, They carry a dead hand, a hero's hand, And on that hand there glows a wedding-ring. Into the mother's lap they throw it.
Then Damian's mother takes the hand up, Turns it over, strokes it, and plays with it — Whisp'ring to the hand, she stammers starkly: 'Here in my lap, 'tis here, that thou dids grow!
