The Words Of Beowulf, Son Of Egtheof

________________________________________________
Title:     The Words Of Beowulf, Son Of Egtheof
Author: George Borrow [More Titles by Borrow]

From the Anglo Saxon.

Every one beneath the heaven
Should of death expect the day,
And let him, whilst life is given,
Bright with fame his name array.

For amongst the countless number
In the clay-cold grave at rest,
Lock'd in arms of iron slumber,
He most happy is and blest.

[The end]
George Borrow's poem: Words Of Beowulf, Son Of Egtheof
