iddle 72

Ic wæs fæmne geong,    feaxhar cwene,

 

I was a gray girl, ash-haired, elegant,

 

ond ænlic     rinc on ane tid;

 

And a singular warrior at the same time.

 

fleah mid fuglum     ond on flode swom,

 

I flew with birds and swam in the sea,

 

deaf under yþe    dead mid fiscum,

 

Dove under waves, dead among fish,

 

ond on foldan stop,    hæfde ferð cwicu.

5

And stood on the shore-locking in a living spirit.
