And then he laughed so loudly and long,

50 The churl was quite out of breath –

I thought the very Old One was come

To mock me before my death,

And wished I had buried the dead men’s bones

That were lying about the heath.

55 But the beggar gave me a jolly clap:

‘Come, let us pledge each other,

For all the wide world is dead beside’

And we are brother and brother –

I’ve a yearning for thee in my heart

60 As if we had come from one mother.

I’ve a yearning for thee in my heart

That almost makes me weep,

For as I passed from town to town

The folks were all stone-asleep,

65 But when I saw thee sitting aloft

It made me both laugh and leap!’
