Runic Poems

​

Anglo-Saxon

​

Sigel semannum symble biþ on hihte,
ðonne hi hine feriaþ ofer fisces beþ,
oþ hi brimhengest bringeþ to lande.

​


The sun is ever a joy in the hopes of seafarers
when they journey away over the fishes' bath,
until the courser of the deep bears them to land.

​

Old Icelandic

​

Sól er skýja skjöldr
ok skínandi röðull
ok ísa aldrtregi.
rota siklingr.

​

Sun is the shield of the clouds
and shining ray
and destroyer of ice.

​

Old Norwegian

​

Sól er landa ljóme;
lúti ek helgum dóme.

​

Sun is the light of the world;
I bow to the divine decree.
