Hervor, daughter of Heidrek, dying at the Battle of the Goths and Huns by Peter Nicolai Arbo (1831–1892)

    "From the south I've come
    to say this news:
    burnt is Mirkwood Heath
    and the whole forest,
    Goth-folk all blotched
    with blood of men.
    Down, I hear,
    is Heidrek's lass;
    heard your sister,
    the Huns felled her —
    and of your people
    plenty more.
    More cheery in battle
    than chatting to suitors
    or taking the bench
    at a bridal feast."
