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
