Very nicely done. The BAAB rhyme scheme fits the story well. It is a love story where a maiden somehow saves a "warrior" from death.

The second time Ragnor fell Ailsinn was unable to save him and knew his time had passed and the best way she could show her love was to let him go. The poem is well-paced and the appearance of the ravens is well-chosen for a symbol of passing.
