“The Wife’s Lament”

Group 1

1.I make this song of myself, deeply sorrowing,

2.my own life’s journey. I am able to tell

3.all the hardships I’ve suffered since I grew up,

4.but new or old, never worse than now-

5.ever I suffer the torment of my exile.

6.First my lord left his people

7.for the tumbling waves; I worried at dawn

Group 2

8.where on earth my leader of men might be.

9.When I set out myself in my sorrow.

10.a friendless exile, to find his retainers,

11.that man’s kinsmen began to think

12.in  secret that they would separate us,

13.so we would live far apart in the world,

14.most miserably, and longing seized me.

Group 3

15.My lord commanded me to live with him here;

16.I had few loved ones or loyal friends

17.in this country, which causes me grief.

18.Then I found that my most fitting man

19.was unfortunate, filled with grief,

20.concealing his mind, plotting murder

21.with a smiling face. So often we swore

Group 4

22.that only death could ever divide us,

23.nothing else-all that is changed now;

24.it is now as if it had never been,

25.our friendship. Far and near, I must

26.endure the hatred of my dearest one.

27.They forced me to live in a forest grove,

28.under an oak tree in an earthen cave.[or “earthen grave” or barrow]

Group 5

29.This earth-hall is old, and I ache with longing;

30.the dales are dark, the hills too high,

31.harsh hedges overhung with briars,

32.a home without joy. Here my lord’s leaving

33.often fiercely seized me. There are friends on earth,

34.lovers living who lie in their bed,

35.while I walk alone in the light of dawn

Group 6

36.under the oak-tree and through this earth-cave,

37.where I must sit the summer-long day;

38.there I can weep for all my exiles,

39.my many troubles; and so I may never

40.escape from the cares of my sorrowful mind,

41.nor all the longings that have seized my life.

42.May the young man be sad-minded (*)

Group 7

43.with hard heart-thoughts, yet let him have

44.a smiling face along with his heartache,

45.a crowd of constant sorrows. Let to himself

46.all his worldly joys belong! Let him be outlawed

47.in a far distant land, so that my friend sits

48.under stone cliffs chilled by storms,

49.weary-minded, surrounded by water

Groups………   &   ………..

50.in a sad dreary hall! My beloved will suffer

51.the cares of a sorrowful mind; he will remember

52.too often a happier home. Woe to the one

53.who must suffer longing for a loved one.
