Das Hildebrandslied Teil I
Menhir
Ik gihorta dat seggen,
ðat sih urhettun ænon muotin,
Hiltibrant enti Haðubrant untar heriun tuem.
sunufatarungo: iro saro rihtun,
garutun sê iro guðhamun, gurtun sih iro suert ana,
helidos, ubar hringa do sie to dero hiltiu ritun.
Hiltibrant gimahalta, Heribrantes sunu, her uuas heroro man,
ferahes frotoro; her fragen gistuont
fohem uuortum, hwer sin fater wari
fireo in folche,... «eddo hwelihhes cnuosles du sis.
ibu du mi enan sages, ik mi de odre uuet,
chind in chunincriche. chud ist mi al irmindeot.»
Hadubrant gimahalta, Hiltibrantes sunu:
garutun sê iro guðhamun, gurtun sih iro suert ana,
helidos, ubar hringa do sie to dero hiltiu ritun.
Hiltibrant gimahalta, Heribrantes sunu, her uuas heroro man,
ferahes frotoro; her fragen gistuont
fohem uuortum, hwer sin fater wari
«dat sagetun mi usere liuti,
alte anti frote, dea érhina warun,
dat Hiltibrant hætti min fater: ih heittu Hadubrant.

her was eo folches at ente, imo was eo fehta ti leop:
chud was her... chonnem mannum.
