[gothic-l] Poetry in Gothic

[roellingua@gmail.com [gothic-l]]

My question is, could you post some of your poetry in Gothic here?
 

 I just did an attempt, I can normally write poems in Dutch and English, but as my Gothic isn't fluent enough yet, it still needs to develop better, the first poem is a try, the second poem is a combination of modern rhyme and old Germanic alliteration:
 

 Poem 1 
 

 Melja izwis qiþan bi waihts himina,
 himina wesun mahteis gudis,
 wilda allos waihts ufkunnan,
 iþ ni manna mag witan hvaþro qimam,
 himins uslukeiþ, swaswe jah airþa uslukeiþ,
 jah uslukanda, himins wigos ataugiþ,
 wigos miþ stairnom, wigos miþ munim,
 wigos in haubidam unsaraim,
 akei jah wigos inuh andi.
 

 Poem 2 
 

 Wigos uslukand haubida meins,
 Wileina bairan aftra garaihtains, 
 

 Wigos wana wiljandona, 
 Wigos waila wakjandona,
 Meleis meljands manna mereiþ,
 Manisks manna menan miþgatimreiþ,
 

 Mena muneis manne midja,
 Mena liufa lukar mereiþ,
 Mena manne muneis mereiþ,
 Mena lukar skeiniþ niuja.
