Athelstan King	A
Lord among Earls	B
Bracelet bestower and	C
Baron of Barons	D
He with his brother	E
Edmund Atheling	A
Gaining a lifelong	A
Glory in battle	F
Slew with the sword edge	G
There by Brunanburh	E
Brake the shield wall	H
Hew'd the lindenwood	C
Hack'd the battleshield	C
Sons of Edward with hammer'd brands	I
	-
Theirs was a greatness	J
Got from their Grandsires	J
Theirs that so often in	K
Strife with their enemies	J
Struck for their hoards and their hearths and their homes	J
	-
Bow'd the spoiler	E
Bent the Scotsman	L
Fell the shipcrews	J
Doom'd to the death	M
All the field with blood of the fighters	J
Flow'd from when first the great	C
Sun star of morningtide	C
Lamp of the Lord God	C
Lord everlasting	A
Glode over earth till the glorious creature	E
Sank to his setting	A
There lay many a man	N
Marr'd by the javelin	L
Men of the Northland	C
Shot over shield	C
There was the Scotsman	L
Weary of war	E
	-
We the West Saxons	J
Long as the daylight	C
Lasted in companies	J
Troubled the track of the host that we hated	C
Grimly with swords that were sharp from the grindstone	O
Fiercely we hack'd at the flyers before us	J
	-
Mighty the Mercian	O
Hard was his hand play	P
Sparing not any of	Q
Those that with Anlaf	Q
Warriors over the	R
Weltering waters	J
Borne in the bark's bosom	S
Drew to this island	C
Doom'd to the death	M
	-
Five young kings put asleep by the sword stroke	A
Seven strong earls of the army of Anlaf	Q
Fell on the war field numberless numbers	J
Shipmen and Scotsmen	O
	-
Then the Norse leader	E
Dire was his need of it	C
Few were his following	A
Fled to his warship	T
Fleeted his vessel to sea with the king in it	C
Saving his life on the fallow flood	C
	-
Also the crafty one	O
Constantinus	J
Crept to his north again	O
Hoar headed hero	E
	-
Slender warrant had	C
He to be proud of	Q
The welcome of war knives	J
He that was reft of his	J
Folk and his friends that had	C
Fallen in conflict	C
Leaving his son too	C
Lost in the carnage	U
Mangled to morsels	J
A youngster in war	E
	-
Slender reason had	C
He to be glad of	Q
The clash of the war glaive	Q
Traitor and trickster	E
And spurner of treaties	J
He nor had Anlaf	Q
With armies so broken	O
A reason for bragging	A
That they had the better	E
In perils of battle	F
On places of slaughter	E
The struggle of standards	J
The rush of the javelins	J
The crash of the charges	J
The wielding of weapons	J
The play that they play'd with	V
The children of Edward	C
	-
Then with their nail'd prows	J
Parted the Norsemen a	R
Blood redden'd relic of	Q
Javelins over	E
The jarring breaker the deep sea billow	E
Shaping their way toward Dyflen again	O
Shamed in their souls	J
	-
Also the brethren	O
King and Atheling	A
Each in his glory	E
Went to his own in his own West Saxonland	C
Glad of the war	E
	-
Many a carcase they left to be carrion	O
Many a livid one many a sallow skin	O
Left for the white tail'd eagle to tear it and	C
Left for the horny nibb'd raven to rend it and	C
Gave to the garbaging war hawk to gorge it and	C
That gray beast the wolf of the weald	C
	-
Never had huger	E
Slaughter of heroes	J
Slain by the sword edge	G
Such as old writers	J
Have writ of in histories	J
Hapt in this isle since	J
Up from the East hither	E
Saxon and Angle from	S
Over the broad billow	E
Broke into Britain with	V
Haughty war workers who	C
Harried the Welshman when	O
Earls that were lured by the	R
Hunger of glory gat	C
Hold of the land	C
