Havamal -Falkenbach

Rh first I know unknown to rulers

Or any human mind;

Help it is named for help it can give

In hours of despair

I know a third in the thick of battle

If my need be great

It will blunt the edges of swords and axes

Their weapons will make no wounds

I know a ninth when need I have

To shelter my ship on the flood

The wind it calms the waves it smoothes

And puts the sea to sleep

The Wise One has spoken the words in the hall

Joy to him who understood

I grew and I throve well;

Word from word gave words to me

I grew and I throve well;Deed from deed gave deeds to me

When I brethern lead to battle

I chant it behind my shield

Unwounded they go

Unwounded they return

Unscathed whereever they are

I know another only few know

The names of the falles ones

About the gigh ones elves and gods

I can name them all

The Wise one has spoken the words in the hall

Joy to him who understood

I grew and I throve well;

Word from word gave words to me

I grew and I throve well;Deed from deed gave deeds to me

The Wise One has spoken the words in the hall

Needful for men to know

Hail the speaker hail to who knows

Joy to him who understood
