Verse Early Saxon

Nu sculon herigean heofonrices weard,
meotodes meahte and his modgeþanc,
weorc wuldorfæder, swa he wundra gehwæs,
ece drihten, or onstealde.

He ærest sceop eorðan bearnum
heofon to hrofe, halig scyppend;
þa middangeard moncynnes weard,
ece drihten, æfter teode
firum foldan, frea ælmihtig

  • Dannnnng it's so hard to pronounce the r's in "eorthan" and in "weorc wuldorfaeder." UGHH XD

  • Das Klingt wie Deutsch!

  • Will you read "Widsith"? XD

  • Did I hear a bit of Winterfylleth at the beginning?

  • What other poems, stories or both do you have that are of the West Saxon dialect?

  • Thanks for the post. It's been a life saver. Rolling those Rs is a trick though.

  • Thanks for posting this. It's just what I was looking for. :)
