Trusty, dusky, vivid, true,
With eyes of gold and bramble-dew,
- Steel-true and blade-straight,
The great artificer Made my mate.
Honour, anger, valour, fire; A love that life could never tire, Death quench or evil stir, The mighty master Gave to her.
Teacher, tender, comrade, wife, A fellow-farer true through life, Heart-whole and soul-free The august father Gave to me.
