THE RUNES ON WELAND'S SWORD, by RUDYARD KIPLING Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: A smith makes me

Subject(s): Mythology - Norse
First Line: A smith makes me
Last Line: But for the thing.
Subject(s): Mythology - Norse
A Smith makes me
To betray my Man
In my first fight.
To gather Gold
At the world's end
I am sent.
The Gold I gather
Comes into England
Out of deep Water.
Like a shining Fish
Then it descends
Into deep Water.
It is not given
For goods or gear,
But for The Thing.
The Gold I gather
A king covets
For an ill use.
The Gold I gather
Is drawn up
Out of deep Water.
Like a shining Fish
Then it descends
Into deep Water.
It is not given
For goods or gear,
But for The Thing.
