Völuspá [English translation]

Heed my words, all classes of men

You greater and lesser children of Heimdall

You summoned me, Odin, to tell what I recall

Of the oldest deeds of gods and men

The sun turns black, the earth sinks into the sea

The bright stars fall out of the sky

Flames scorch the leaves of Yggdrasil

A great bonfire reaches to the highest clouds

Brothers will fight one another and kill one another

Cousins will break peace with one another

The old tree sighs when the giant shakes it

Yggdrasil still stands but it trembles

Fenrir howls terribly before the doors to Hel

The wolf will break its bonds and run

Waterfalls flow, and eagles fly overhead

Hunting for fish among the mountain peaks

I see a hall standing there more beautiful than sunlight.

Thatched with gold at Gimlé

There bold men will dwell

And enjoy cheer throughout their lives
