Hi everyone! I was inspired to make this video by Pat @BookChatWithPat8668 , Adam @closereadingpoetry , and @ReframedYT 's video on the film "28 Years Later." I'll share links to the videos mentioned, as well as the text of the poem. It's a different translation than what I read; mine is translated by Kevin Crossley-Holland. Thank you for watching, and let me know if you've read any Old English poetry before, or if this was your introduction to it. Who knows, I may make more videos on this topic!
