This I beheld...
or drempt it in a dream...
There spread a cloud of dust along a plain...
and in it... or underneith it raged a furious battle!!!

And men yelled!!
and sword shocked against swords and shields!!!
A prince's banner wavered...
then staggered backwards hemmed by foes!!!

A craven hung along the battles edge...
and thought...
Had "I" a sword of keener steel...
like that Blue Blade the King's son bears!!!

But this blunt thing...
he snapped it!!
and flung it away...
and lowering...
he crept away...
and left the battlefield!!

THEN CAME THE KING'S SON!!!
Wounded and sore bestead...
and weaponless!!!
Saw the broken sword!!!
Hilt burried in the dry and trodden sand...

And ran!!!
He snatched it up!!!
WITH BATTLE SHOUT!!!
Lifted afresh!!!
HE HEWED HIS ENEMIES DOWN!!!
and saved a great cause...
that heroic day!!
