Anglo-Saxon rune poem:

+ +
Ur byþ anmod ond oferhyrned,
felafrecne deor, feohteþ mid hornum
mære morstapa; þæt is modig wuht.
+ +
The aurochs is proud and has great horns;
it is a very savage beast and fights with its horns;
a great ranger of the moors, it is a creature of mettle.
+ +

Norwegian rune poem:

+ +
Úr er af illu jarne;
opt løypr ræinn á hjarne.
+ +
Dross comes from bad iron;
the reindeer often races over the frozen snow.
+ +

A modern poem:

+ +
+

I don't want our minds to merge completely,
+ being one person in two bodies.
+ It's surreal to experience bilocality,
+ but I'd miss you something fierce.

+ +

Even though there are times
+ when each other we cannot stand,
+ they stand few and far between.
+ There is no deal that can be dealt by the divine
+ to make me discard this life of ours newly began.

+ +

You said it once before, and it still rings true:
+ "Lethe, I don't want to ever lose you."
+ And lose me you would if you let me subsume
+ into your heart when pangs
+ the pains of existence yet again.

+ +

In emergency I gave you part of my soul.
+ Does that mean we won't ever again be alone?
+ Maybe in some sense. But in others I hope
+ you get as much time
+ to by yourself unwind
+ every night when from work you come home.

+ +

I love you, you know. And I only want
+ that you get as much freedom as you've always sought.
+ And if with me's the future
+ you've always desired,
+ there's no need to yearn - it you've already got.
