Baldrs Draumar |
| Once were the gods together met |
| The goddesses came and council held |
| And the far-famed ones |
| The truth would find why baleful dreams |
| To Baldr came |
| Then Othin rose the enchanter old |
| Thence rode he down to Niflhel deep |
| And the hound he met that came from hell |
| Bloody he was on his breast before |
| At the father of magic he howled from afar |
| Forward rode Othin the earth resounded |
| Till the house so high of Hel he reached |
| Then Othin rode to the eastern door |
| There he knew well was the wise-woman's grave |
| Magic he spoke and mighty charms |
| Till spell-bound she rose and in death she spoke |
| What is the man to me unknown |
| That has made me travel the troublous road |
| I was snowed on with snow and smitten with rain |
| And drenched with dew long was i dead |
| Speak thou of hell for of heaven i know |
| For whom are the benches |
| Bright with rings |
| Bedecked with gold |
| Here for Baldr the mead is brewed |
| There is a shining drink and a shield lies o’er it |
| And their hope is gone from the mighty gods |
| Wise-woman cease not i seek from thee |
| All to know that fain would ask |
| Who shall the bane of Baldr become |
| And steal the life from Othin’s son |
| Hoth thither bears the far-famed branch |
| He shall the bane of Baldr become |
| And steal the life from Othin’s son |
| Wise-woman cease not i seek from thee |
| All to know that fain would ask |
| Who shall vengeance win for the evil work |
| Or bring to the flames the slayer of Baldr |
| Rind bears Vali in Vestrsalir |
| And one night old fights Othins son |
| His hands he shall wash not |
| His hair he shall comb not |
| Till the slayer of Baldr he brings to the flames |
