Explore "King Witlaf's Drinking-Horn" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Witlaf, a king of the Saxons, / Ere yet his last he breathed, / To the merry monks of Croyland / His drinking-horn bequeathed, --
That, whenever they sat at their revels, / And drank from the golden bowl, / They might remember the donor, / And breathe a prayer for his soul.
