[Old Norse]
Ein sat hon úti
Þá er inn aldni kom
Yggjungr ása
Ok í augu leit
Hvers fregnið mik?
Hví freistið mín?
Alt veit ek, Óðinn
Hvar þú auga falt
Í inum mœra
Mímis brunni
Drekkr mjöð Mímir
Morgin hverjan
Af veði Valföðrs
Vituð ér enn eða hvat?
[English translation]
Alone I sat
When the Old One sought me
The terror of gods
And gazed in mine eyes:
"What hast thou to ask?
Why comest thou hither?
Othin, I know
Where thine eye is hidden."
I know where Othin's
Eye is hidden
Deep in the wide-famed
Well of Mimir
Mead from the pledgе
Of Othin each mom
Does Mimir drink:
Would you know yet morе?
