So in the darkness I, my resolve, and my keen sword were
My will in the dark and my blade and I
three alike, like the clustered stars of the Eagle.
Were three fellows met like an eagle in flight

So my hopes gave tidings of a king who is mankind
and an abode that is the world, and a day that is all time.
And a home that is the world and time everlasting
