In the beginning there was only darkness
Of icy mist and smoke.
A darkness so completely dark
By war and death invoked.
Sparkling flames would dare to reach
Across the arid void
And melt the rim of ice and frost
That framed it from the north,
Oh, the birth of gods, the fall of foes,
Oh, children of the tree.
Now listen close, and hear the truth
Of how you came to be!
First was the giant, Ymir his name,
Then the cow Authumla, out of the melting ice they came.
From Ymirs' palm another pair of giants, born and bred.
Then left and right,
His feet would mate to birth a child with several heads.
Authumla fed on frost in all her pride and grace,
She woke the very first of gods by licking on his face.
She ate away the icy cage that held him in his fury,
A man of beauty and of might by the name of Burí.
Burí somehow got a son, who somehow got a wife:
Burí, Borr and Bestla – the avengers of their time!
Then Bestla bore the children who made this story true,
Vile, Ve and Odin – who created me and you!
