Old English
Eoh byþ utan unsmeþe treow,
heard hrusan fæst,
hyrde fyres
wyrtrumun underwreþyd, wyn on eþle.

The yew is a tree with rough bark,
hard and fast in the earth,
a guardian of flame
supported by its roots, and a joy upon an estate.
| Norwegian (as Yr)
Ýr er vetrgrønstr viða;
vænt er, er brennr, at sviða.
|
Yew is the greenest of trees in winter;
it is wont to crackle when it burns.
| Icelandic (as Yr)
Ýr er bendr bogi
ok brotgjarnt járn
ok fífu fárbauti.
arcus ynglingr.
|
Yew
bent bow
and brittle iron
and giant of the arrow.
