So through the calm air soon arose the sound

Of one old voice as now a Wanderer spoke.

"O friends, and ye, fair loving gentle folk,

Would I could better tell a tale to-day;

But hark to this, which while our good ship lay

Within the Weser such a while agone,

A Fleming told me, as we sat alone

One Sunday evening in the Rose-garland,

And all the other folk were gone a-land

After their pleasure, like sea-faring men.

Surely I deem it no great wonder then

That I remember everything he said,

Since from that Sunday eve strange fortune led

That keel and me on such a weary way—

Well, at the least it serveth you to-day."
