Most of the short poems in this work, from the Exeter Book, and certain other passages from longer works, may be described as 'elegies' in that they contain a basic notion of lament. The poems in question are; The Wanderer, The Seafarer, The Riming Poem, Deor, Wulf and Eadwacer, the Wife's Lament, Resignation, The Husband's Message, and The Ruin; and the passages; "The Lament of the Last Survivor' and 'A Father's Lament for his Son' in Beowulf, ‘Beccel's Dirge’ at the close of Guthlac, 'Cynewulf s Epilogue' from Elene, and 'The Poet's Epliogue' to The Dream of the Rood. The Anglo-Saxon text of each poem is given along with an English rendering.
