Siân Echard's "The Wanderer" page has a "facing page" translation composed by Dr. Echard herself for her English 492 class at the University of British Columbia. I link to it here to demonstrate that different translators of Old English Poetry produce different English translations of Old English.

 

"The Wanderer" Project has been prepared by Dr. Rick McDonald at Utah Valley University.

 

Here's a version of "The Wanderer" at Anglo-Saxons.net. Once again, this page is provided so you can see a different translation into modern English from the same arrangement of Old English words.
