This isn't modern or conventional, but I like it a lot. Sounds Vikingesque:

Apparent translation, though not sure:
Near the field, near the forest the warrior was laying down
And next to his legs the gray horse was standing.
And the cuckoo came and landed next to them.
You, my cuckoo, you've got pied feathers.
You, my cuckoo, you've got pied feathers.
And you, cuckoo, fly to my father and mother.
You fly, cuckoo, to my father and mother
And don't tell them, cuckoo, that i was killed here.
Don't tell them, cuckoo, that i was killed here.
And say, cuckoo, that I was married here.
Tell them, cuckoo, that I was married here,
I was married here by the slim spear in the hand...
