I like that a lot! I obviously didn't read the whole thing, but the couple of pages I did read sound incredibly faithful to the original.

For those who may not know, Anglo Saxon poetry didn't rhyme in the same way modern English poetry tends to. It used alliteration, as well as initial, and, frequently, approximate rhymes, and relied heavily on meter. Initial rhyme is essentially a combination of alliteration with a rhyming initial vowel.

For kicks you should get your hands on a copy of W.H. Auden's "Age of Anxiety"; an entire long poem in the modernist style, with 20th century modernist themes, but written mostly in the alliterative verse form of old Germanic poetry.
