QUEEN BERNGERD THE BARD AND THE DREAMS AND OTHER BALLADS
BY GEORGE BORROW
LONDON: PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION 1913
QUEEN BERNGERD
DAME MARTHA'S FOUNTAIN
Dame Martha dwelt at Karisegaard, So many kind deeds she wrought: If the winter were sharp and the rich man hard, Her gate the indigent sought.
With her hand the hungry she loved to feed, To the sick she lent her aid; The prisoner oft from his chains she freed, And for souls of sinners pray'd.
Denmark's land was in peril dire, The Swede around burnt and slew; The castle of Martha was wrapped in fire, To the church the good lady flew.
She dwelt in the tower both night and day, There unto her none repaired; 'Neath the church roof sat the dull owl gray, And at the good lady stared.
In the house of the Lord she dwelt safe and content 'Till the foes their departure had ta'en; Then back to her ruined castle she went, And bade it be builded again.
