Old English (Rohirric)
Hw?r cwom helm? Hwaer cwom byrne?
Hw?r cwom feax flowende?
Hw?r cwom hand on hearpestrenge?
Hw?r cwom scir fyr scinende?
Hw?r cwom lencten and h?rfest?
Hw?r cwom heah corn weaxende?
Hwa gegaderath wudurec of
wealdholte byrnende?
O??e gesiehth of garsecge
?a gear gewendende?



'Where is the helm and the hauberk,
and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harp string,
and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest
and the tall corn growing?
Who shall gather the smoke of
the dead wood burning?
Or behold the flowing years
from the Sea returning?
