For the moon tells me so,
As does anxious snow,
This is how I know,
For the wind tells me so.
All these burnings in her,
Beaming red; ruby-pure,
Shine through the blizzard's blur,
Life is burning in her.
And so it came to pass,
Of a radiant wrath,
That a spear was cast,
And so it came to pass.
Ice spear of the ancient north,
Screech owl did send the fires forth,
To heat the frozen forge of earth,
Ice spear of the ancient north.
Ice spear contains the will,
Kvasir's blood from dwarf's kill,
Golden Odrerir, it doth spill,
Ice spear contains the will.
This is how I know,
For screech owl tells me so,
Sign, skald, and swirling snow,
This is how I know.
