Hige sceal [th]e herdra, heorte [th]e cenre,
mod sceal [th]e nare [th]e ure maegen lytla[th].*

---The Battle of Maldon



long, long
the days ahead,
sans solace
sans mercy

long, long
the nights ahead
sans comfort
sans relief

take heart!
there is no escape
from the
weary the road

no peace at all
until
we reach the
Sea


============

*"Will shall be the sterner, heart the bolder,
spirit the greater,as our stength lessens."
