Haie ! Haie! These were the swift to harry; These were the keen-scented; These were the souls of blood. Slow on the lash, pallid the leash-men !...


He hath not heart for harping, nor in ring-having
Nor winsomeness to wife, nor world's delight
Nor any whit else save the wave's slash,
Yet longing comes upon him to fare forth on the water.
Bosque takes blossom, cometh beauty of berries,
Fields to fairness, land fares brisker.
All this admonisheth man eager of mood,
The heart turns to travel so that he then thinks
On flood-ways to be far departing.
Cuckoo calleth with gloomy crying,
He singeth summerward, bodeth sorrow,
The bitter heart's blood.

Do you understand ?
I am not sure...
