The omens warned of encroaching ****** Their maurauding chant heard above the waves. Escape by causeway covered over, My robes held high against the tide. Clasped word of God on vellum by reed, Illumination of the holy way. Veneration by priests and singers, As Norsemen trampled the bodies of saints.

Lindisfarne
The omens warned of encroaching ****** Their maurauding chant heard above the waves. Escape by causeway covered over, My robes held high against the tide. Clasped word of God on vellum by reed, Illumination of the holy way. Veneration by priests and singers, As Norsemen trampled the bodies of saints.
