Eight verses.
Fairest born of Treian maidens,
Daughter of the House of Hagnor,
Like a regal queen did Kannle
Walk beneath the silver beeches.
Gentle Kanle, Mighty Neras,
Show the ways of love unto us.
Fairest born of Treian maidens,
Of all women Under Starlight,
Kanle loved the Mighty Neras,
Loved and wed him under poplars.
Gentle Kanle, Mighty Neras,
Show the ways of love unto us.
Fairest born of Treian maidens,
Daughter of the House of Hagnor,
Like a gentle swan did Kanle
Glide unto the arms of Neras.
Gentle Kanle, Mighty Neras,
Show the ways of love unto us.
Fairest born of Treian maidens,
Daughter of the House of Hagnor,
You were doomed to die in sorrow,
You were sundered from your people.
Gentle Kanle, Mighty Neras,
Show the ways of love unto us.
Fairest born of Treian maidens,
Daughter of the House of Hagnor,
You were doomed to die in sorrow,
You were sundered from your people.
Gentle Kanle, Mighty Neras,
Teach us all your secret sorrows.
Mighty Neras, Peiboth’s offspring,
Mightiest of all the warriors
Who have ever, Under Starlight,
Wielded sword or lance in battle:
Hardy Neras, you were conquered
By the beauty of a maiden.
Mighty Neras, Peiboth’s offspring,
Many foemen slew in battle—
Many giants on the waters
Of the long-lost Outer Ocean.
Famous Neras, you were conquered
By the glances of a maiden.
Mighty Neras, Peiboth’s offspring,
Conquered on the field of battle
Many heroes of the Treians,
All the sons of Hagnor’s household.
Famous Neras, you were conquered,
By the bosom of his daughter!
Mighty Neras, Peiboth’s offspring,
Faltered in the day of testing.
All the people born of Feihoth
Neras doomed through lack of action.
Foolish Neras, you were conquered
By the fear which rose within you.
