Flammifer

Beneath the moon and under star

he wandered far from northern strands

bewildered on enchanted ways

beyond the days of mortal lands

Through evernight he back was borne

on black and roaring waves that ran

o’er leagues unlit and foundered shores

that drownded before the days began

His sword of steel was valiant

of adamant his helmet tall

an eagle-plume upon his crest

upon his breast an emerald.
