Whanne Ich Thenche Thinges Thre

1Wanne Ich thenche thinges thre
2Ne mai neure blithe be.
3That oon is Ich sal awe.
4That other is Ich ne wot wilk day.
5That thridde is mi meste kare:
6I ne woth nevre wuder I sal fare.

Translated into modern English:

When I ponder three things
I can never be carefree.
One, that I will die.
Another, I don't know which day.
The third worries me the most:
I don't know where I will go.
