Fæst is þæt ēġlond, fenne biworpen. Sindon wælrēowe weras þǣr on īġe; willað hȳ hine āþeċġan ġif hē on þrēat cymeð. Unġelīċe is ūs. Unġelīċe is ūs. Unġelīċe is ūs. Unġelīċe is ūs. Wulf, mīn Wulf! wēna mē þīne sēoċe ġedydon, þīne seldcymas, murnende mōd, nales metelīste. Ġehȳrest þū, Ēadwacer? Uncerne eargne hwelp bireð wulf tō wuda. Þæt mon ēaþe tōslīteð þætte nǣfre ġesomnad wæs, uncer ġiedd ġeador. uncer ġiedd ġeador. uncer ġiedd ġeador. uncer ġiedd ġeador. - Wulf is on an island, I on another. That island is fast, enwarped with fens. On this island, slaughter-cruel men are; they will devour him if he approaches their pack. It is different with us. It is different with us. It is different with us. It is different with us. Wulf, my Wulf! My desire for you has made me sick, (your seldom-comings, my mourning mind), more than meals missed. Do you hear, Eadwacer? Our wretched whelp a wolf bears to the woods. One can easily sever that which was never joined: our song together. our song together. our song together. our song together.
