Where are they, Beorma’s people?
On the mounds, on the mounds,
Watching
Who are they, Beorma’s people?
Descendants, iust descendants
Looking to the East.
They came from the East, Beorma’s people.
Short generations ago they came.
They fought, they moved in the night
They laid waste, with the taste of battle in their mouths.
Now they wait, Beorma’s people
On the mounds, fearing sounds
In the East.
Fearing names, Beorma’s people,
Aldgyth and Grimr
Marching on the fens.
