|
a first weary glance at a ruby horizon, |
|
the last glittering stars now passing from view. |
|
the last dream is fading, the daybreack has come, |
|
for this morn, now dawning, might be the last. |
|
runes shall ye know on untrodden ways. |
|
know how to scratch know how to grasp. |
|
few only know that othin obtained. |
|
runes shall ye know on untrodden ways. |
|
know how to round and how to attain. |
|
few only know whom freya will chose. |
|
ere forenoon came closer that very last day, |
|
the sun riding high on a watchet cloudless sky. |
|
i left all behind me to follow the path, |
|
untrodden for ages by none but the gods. |
|
runes shall ye know on untrodden ways. |
|
know how to scratch know how to grasp. |
|
few only know what othin obtained. |
|
runes shall ye know on untrodden ways. |
|
know how to round and how to attain. |
|
few only know whom freya will chose. |
|
the bridge lies ahead know, shining and clear, |
|
bright and golden, the lowlands behind. |
|
for i am to walk on the untrodden path, |
|
to follow the soundings, to never return. |
|
runes shall ye know on untrodden ways. |
|
know how to throw, know how to read. |
|
few only know how to open the gate |
