      The grave is horrible to every knight,
      when the corpse quickly begins to cool

      and covenants are broken.

This rune was originally the shape of Ansuz in the Elder Futhark, though the sound is different. (Ahh vs. Aaah)

     eldum dyre stiþ on staþule,
     stede rihte hylt,
     ðeah him feohtan on firas monige.

       With its sturdy trunk
       it offers a stubborn resistance,
       though attacked by many a man.

     fereþ gelome ofer ganotes bæþ;
     garsecg fandaþ hwæþer ac
     hæbbe æþele treowe.


      The oak fattens the flesh of pigs for the children of men.
      Often it traverses the gannet's bath,  
      and the ocean proves whether the oak  
      keeps faith in honourable fashion.

Minor update, I read Intro to English Runes.

Good, solid, academic and historic research, but really kinda dry, too.
Might not be to everyone's tastes, unless you have a thing for history.
