Kung Rings död

Gullmanig fåle, 
Skinfaxe, drager 
vårsol ur vågen mer härlig än förr. 
Morgonens stråle, 
dubbelt så fager, 
leker i kungssal: det klappar på dörr. 

Sade och tryckte 
Ingeborg handen, 
handen på son och på gråtande vän. 
Ögat han lyckte, 
kunglige anden 
flög med en suck till Allfader igen.

by Esaias Tegnér (1782-1846) , "Kung Rings död"
