In Geatland bold, a hero rose,
Beowulf his name, tale it goes.
From shores of home to Hrothgar’s hall,
He heard the call, he’d heed them all.
Raise horns, sing of glory,
Beowulf's brave, enduring story.
In halls of kings and battle's fire,
He forged his fate, through realms dire.
Grendel came, a monstrous plight,
In Herot's heart, he struck at night.
Beowulf sailed o'er the sea,
To end the fiend and set men free.
With of steel, he faced the beast,
Tore limb from limb, the feast did cease.
Yet darker threats lay still wait,
A mother's wrath, a dragon's fate.
In murky depths, the mother dwelled,
A vengeful heart, her fury swelled.
dove into the deep,
To claim his victory and to keep.
Years did pass, a king renowned,
Yet last foe would bring him down.
A dragon fierce breath of flame,
Beowulf faced his final claim.
In halls his deeds remain,
A hero’s song, a timeless strain.
Beowulf's name in saga lore,
Lives evermore, forevermore.
