Silence slays the word-cave banter,

soon the ear-caves welcome skalds-brew,

Weave I now a way of learning,

welcome may you find in Yggs-mead,

 

Learn the lore of Norsemen,

lays of mighty heroes,

sailing south in longships,

sorely grieve the Southrons,

fierce the blazing farmstead,

Franks-land merry blazing,

raiders wearing ring-shirts,

rich the booty carried,

 

Strong the Sons of Odin,

slaying in ring-byrnies,

 

Swirling clouds the storms are,

stream they now from Lands-end,

Mjollnirs-master sends them,

marching over Midgard

Walk the whale-road Kinsmen,

winds now greet Jords-son,

feel the fury Stone-whales,

fighting Thor now swiftly,

 

Strong the Sons of Odin,

slaying in ring-byrnies,

 

Freyja is the friend of,

men who fear the straw-death,

fierce ones fall in battle,

feasting in Sessrumnir,

Svipdag gleans the slain ones,

shares them with Njords-dottir,

gather they the gallant

gain the Einherhjar gladly,

 

Strong the Sons of Odin,

slaying in ring-byrnies,

 

Bragi's-mead is boundless,

but needs practice daily,

varied are the verse-forms,

valiant are the hearers,

know of kennings so that,

keenly may you use them,

vibrant make your verses,

valued by all great men,

 

Treasured themes now finished,

true to form I hope so,

glad to glean your word-praise,

great you are to listen,

 

Thorgeirr
