The shieldwall will arise again
from the lands the bastard has stolen.
The heart of the folk is the true king’s companion
and never the tyrants to own.
Our words are treated as unclean, cursed
hunted as a hart in the forest.
Speech of theirs, strange and painful
spread as disease on their tongues.
Time means naught, we have patience for years
as Knut and sons learned before.
His book reckons not the truth of the land.
Outside lords are noted, never honored.
From days of legend, Hengist and Horsa,
to Alfred rising from Guthrim’s spoils
and the evil counsels given Æthelred.
Lastly, the fall of Harold Godwinson
Danelaw is a memory, Haardrada learned.
Norman pretenders cannot make untrue
the folks loyalty to land and king.
The island will remain, Angleland
