He was but given to be resign'd;
Our eyes one day shall look on his.

Their graves bloom yonder side by side.

How did she die, I want to know?

Brand.

With Hope that yet a Dawn shall glow,
With all her heart's rich treasure whole.
With Will that never lost control,
With thanks for all that life had lent
And life had taken away, she went.

Einar.

Trumpery figments every one.
Say what the faith she died in was.

Brand.

Unshaken.

Einar.

          In what?

Brand.

                   In God.
