I'd say Beowulf, but it could be any old-English poem.

Yup. It's "The Wife's Lament."
Ic þis giedd wrece, bi me ful geomorre minre sylfre sið

I sing this song, about me, full of sadness, my sorrowful journey.

It's not meant to be a reflection on anything in my life right now; I've just had the first few lines stuck in my head for some reason and I figured the best way to get rid of it was to write it down. It worked, but now I have the "All Your Base" song stuck there instead. -_- NOT AN IMPROVEMENT.
