Wulf and Eadwacer [all]

He is like a gift to my people, they will tear him if he comes with a troop.

Unlike it is to us

Wulf is on an island, I on another.

Fast is that island, wrapped by fens. There are slaughter-greedy men on that island, they will tear him if he comes with a troop.

Unlike it is to us.

I have long endured the footsteps of Wulf being far away. When it was rainy weather, and I sat, weeping, then that warrior laid his arms about me.  It was a joy to me, but to me also hateful.

Wulf, my Wulf, my hopes of you have made me sickened, your seldom coming, my sorrowing mind, not at all a lack of food.

Do you hear, Eadwacer?  Wulf will bear our miserable hwelp to the woods.

A man may easily slit apart that which was never truly together:

Our song together.
