Songwords in Early New English[edit]
Held in slumbre,
By erthe and root he is bound.
Restinge under,
A wreath of firs all around.
Dawnliht breaking,
The sunne has risen anewe.
Birdsong wakinge,
To stand with all of his theow.
Heave and ho,
How his fete are rooted in ston.
Heigh and lohe,
Go the stepes that rattle his bones.
Man and dere,
Twinkle in a blynk of his eye.
Winteres wend,
And a good kyngesrip goes awry.
Songwords in Steerline New English[edit]
Held in slumber,
By earth and root he is bound.
Resting under,
A wreath of firs all around.
Dawnlight breaking,
The sun has risen anew.
Birdsong waking,
To stand with all of his thew.
Heave and ho,
How his feet are rooted in stone.
High and low,
Go the steps that rattle his bones.
Man and deer,
Twinkle in a blink of his eye.
Winters wend,
And a good kingsrip goes awry.
