Robin,
I'm afraid I just did the ol' Google & clip, here...
http://faculty.uca.edu/jona/texts/seafarer.htm

That section also appears as the epigraph to play of the same name by Colin McPherson,
using Richard Hamer’s translation from the Anglo-Saxon, rendered thus:

He knows not
Who lives most easily on land, how I
Have spent my winter on the ice-cold sea
Wretched and anxious, in the paths of exile
Lacking dear friends, hung round by icicles
While hail flew past in showers…

Ezra Pound's version.  In _Personae_?

Michael Alexander probably does it better <g> (not to speak of Edwin Morgan).

Pound handles OE metrics more handily when he returns to it obliquely in Canto I.

     That man knows not,
to whom on earth fairest falls,
how I, care-wretched, ice-cold sea
dwelt on in winter along the exile-tracks,
bereaved both of friend and of kin,
behung with rime-crystals. Hail showers flew.
I heard nothing there but the sea's sounding,
ice-cold wave.

(The Seafarer)
