Awakens He, Bereft of Kinsmen (The Wayfarer Pt. 2)

Bereft of friends, awakens he
Dark waves before him
Frost and snow
Mingled with hail fall
His wounded heart is heavier
Painful for the beloved
Sorrow is renewed

Spirits of the seafarers bring not, familiarity there
Care is renewed for the one who must
Send a weary mind over the bound waves
A mind in darkness, pondering life
How they abandoned the hall
The brave young!

Thus the earth declines
Falls every day for he
The riches of this world stand deserted
Walls still stand
Blown upon by winds
Covered with frost
Bereft of joy
For they all perished

Proud beside the well
War destroyed many
Carried in departure
Over the high sea, a bird of carrion makes haste
The grey-haired wolf shared in death
The ancient work stood empty
