                          Nine nights hanging, knowledge gaining, 
                          Cloaked at crossroads, council hidden.

                          Rede in riddles is your ration -- 
                          Wyrd-weaving at the World-tree's root. 
                          Eldest ancient, all-knowing one,

                          God of grain that grows and dies 
                          And rises reborn, full of richness; 
                          Fallow fields shall yet be fertile -- 
                          Spring sap runs as stirs your phallus 
                          Bless barren earth, let it bear again!

                          Bow and blade you bear beside you, 
                          Finding food to fend off hunger -- 
                          Winter will not leave us wanting;
