Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIJI

Home they brought her warrior deadA
She nor swooned nor uttered cryB
All her maidens watching saidA
She must weep or she will dieB
-
Then they praised him soft and lowC
Called him worthy to be lovedD
Truest friend and noblest foeC
Yet she neither spoke nor movedE
-
Stole a maiden from her placeF
Lightly to the warrior steppedG
Took the face cloth from the faceF
Yet she neither moved nor weptG
-
Rose a nurse of ninety yearsH
Set his child upon her kneeI
Like summer tempest came her tearsJ
Sweet my child I live for theeI
