Old English (Rohirric)
Héo naefre wacode dagréd
Tó bisig mid dageweorcum
Ac oft héo wacode sunnanwanung
?onne nihtciele créap geond móras
And on ?aere hwile
Héo dréag ?á losinga
Earla ?inga ?e héo forléas.
Héo swá oft dréag hire sáwle sincende
Héo ne cú?e hire heortan lust.
'She never watched the morning rising,
Too busy with the day's first chores,
But oft she would watch the sun's fading,
As the cold of night crept across the moors.
And in that moment
She felt the loss
Of everything that had been missed.
So used to feeling the spirit sink,
She had not felt her own heart's wish.
