Translation

I have posted a more recent translation on the Dream of the Rood page.

"It was years ago – I still remember –

that I was cut down at the forest’s edge,

made me into a spectacle,

they told me to raise up their criminals.

Men carried me on their shoulders,

and they set me on a hill;

those many enemies planted me there...."
