An analysis of the Old English Christian poem "The Dream of the Rood" is presented. It focuses on the half-lines 125B-126A and examines translations suggesting the lines mean "endured many of all hours of longing" or "experienced many of all times of longing." The author goes on to suggest the lines actually translate to "endured many miserable hours of longing" based on the adjective "earm."
