Old English (Rohirric)
Hйo naefre wacode dжgrйd
Tу bisig mid dжgeweorcum

Ac oft hйo wacode sunnanwanung
Рonne nihtciele crйap geond mуras
And on рaere hwile
Hйo drйag рб losinga
Earla рinga рe hйo forlйas.
Hйo swб oft drйag hire sбwle sincende
Hйo ne cърe 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.
