Canst þu eagum þa ansacan?
Sei me gemonige byrne blacan fyres
Mid arstafum wel gewylde.
Hwa ni wenð to ridenne
Ridan ains lyftgeswehced æftan.
Forgitst eall sorge ond ceare.
Me leofre wære ærnan
ofer græs-moldan
simle nu tid stent oþ.
Endeleas hofan sweg fierlen
his fnæran nean.
Hwa ain swelce mearas
þearf nauht elles in feorh.
***
Can you resist those eyes?
Which remind me of brightly burning fire
Yet well tempered with kindness
Who would not dream to ride
Ride driven only by the wind in their back
Forgetting all sorrow and grief
Much rather would I gallop
Over grass-lands
Till time stands forever still
Endless hoof-sounds already distant
His nicker so close to me
Who has such steeds
Needs nothing else in life.
