HAFBUR AND SIGNE a ballad by GEORGE BORROW London: printed for private circulation 1913 p. 5HAFBUR AND SIGNE Young Hafbur King and Sivard King They lived in bitter enmity; ’Twas Signe proud that caused their feud, Of maidens all the fairest she. It was youthful Hafbur King Awaked at midnight with a bound, And full of dread he straightway said His wondrous dream to all around. “Methought I was in heaven’s domain, Within that place so fair to view, And held to my breast my loved one prest, When down we fell the cloudlets through.” p.
