THE MEARAS
text by PHILIPPA BOYENS, translation by DAVID SALO
( OLD ENGLISH )
Híe hine sáwon feorran
And hwíte sunnan in mane
Híe lange hine clipodon
Ac hé ne wolde cuman
(( In the distance they saw him,
White sun caught in his mane.
Long they called him -
But he would not come. ))
For thon hé wæs Sceadufæx
Hláford ealra Méara
And hé ne andswarode bútan ánne.
(( For he was Shadowfax -
Lord of all Horses.
And he answered to only one. ))
