Of Herjan's maidens |

I saw for Baldr, |
the bleeding god,
The son of Othin, |
his destiny set:
Famous and fair |
in the lofty fields,
Full grown in strength |
the mistletoe stood.

Vorded af vexten,

og Hod det skød;
Balders broder,

33.
From the branch which seemed |
so slender and fair
Came a harmful shaft |
that Hoth should hurl;
But the brother of Baldr |
was born ere long,
And one night old |
fought Othin's son.

His hands he washed not, |
his hair he combed not,
Till he bore to the bale-blaze |
Baldr's foe
But in Fensalir |
did Frigg weep sore
For Valhall's need: |

A lover of ill, |

By his side does Sigyn |

To see her mate: |

On Nastrond it stands, |

Venom drops |

For around the walls |

And the wolf tore men; |

on the flesh of the dead,
And the home of the gods |

Dark grows the sun, |
and in summer soon
Come mighty storms: |
would you know yet more?
