Fé vældr frænda róge
Føðesk ulfr í skóge
Úr er af illu jarne
Opt løypr ræinn á hjarne
ÞUrs vældr kvinna kvillu
Kátr værðr fár af illu
Óss er flæstra færða
Fǫr; en skalpr er sværða
Ræið kveða rossom væsta
Reginn sló sværðet bæzta
Kaun er barna bǫlvan
Bǫl gørver nán fǫlvan
Hagall er kaldastr korna
Kristr skóp hæimenn forna
Nauðr gerer næppa koste
Nøktan kælr í froste
Wunjo (runo) sigur (fahi) gan (ð) i (raginakundo)
Ís kǫllum brú bræiða
Blindan þarf at læiða
Ár er gumna góðe
Get ek at ǫrr var Fróðe
Sól er landa ljóme
Lúti ek helgum dóme
Týr er æinendr ása
Opt værðr smiðr blása

Bjarkan er laufgrønstr líma
Loki bar flærða tíma
Maðr er moldar auki
Mikil er græip á hauki
Lǫgr er, fællr ór fjalle
Foss; en gull ero nosser
ÝR er vetrgrønstr viða
Vænt er, er brennr, at sviða
Rune Poem
Wealth is a source of discord among kinsmen
The wolf lives in the forest
The worst is what comes from the east
The reindeer often races over the frozen snow
The thurs causes women's sorrow
Misfortune makes few men cheerful
Most people are deceived by that which is before their eyes
Although a man might be wary
The worst of all rides the horse
The best of all draws the sword
Ulcer is fatal to children
Death makes a corpse pale
Hail is the coldest of grain
Christ created the world of old
Need is oppressive to the heart
Yet often it proves a source of help and salvation
Joy (rune) is for him who knows little of woe
Ice we call the broad bridge
The blind man must be led
Harvest is a joy to men
I think Fróði was generous in giving
Sun is the light of the world
I bow to the holy decree
Týr is a one-handed god
Often has the smith to blow

Birch has the greenest leaves of any shrub
Loki was fortunate in his deceit
Man is an augmentation of the dust
Great is the claw of the hawk
Lake falls from the mountain
A waterfall; gold is the strength of the hills
Yew is the greenest of trees in winter
It is wont to crackle when it burns
