Old English (Rohirric)<br>

Hwær cwóm helm? Hwaer cwóm byrne?<br>

Hwær cwóm feax flówende?<br>

Hwær cwóm hand on hearpestrenge?<br>

Hwær cwóm scir fýr scinende?<br>

Hwær cwóm lencten and hærfest?<br>

Hwær cwóm héah corn weaxende?<br>

Hwá gegaderath wuduréc of<br>

wealdholte byrnende?<br>

Oððe gesiehth of gársecge<br>

ðá géar gewendende?<br>

<br>

<br>

'Where is the helm and the hauberk,<br>

and the bright hair flowing?<br>

Where is the hand on the harp string,<br>

and the red fire glowing?<br>

Where is the spring and the harvest<br>

and the tall corn growing?<br>

Who shall gather the smoke of <br>

the dead wood burning?<br>

Or behold the flowing years<br>

from the Sea returning?<br>
