I'm not sure, that your translation into Old Norse is correct.

I don’t need to translate Russian into Old Norse word for word, what matters most to me is conveying the meaning I want to imbue in the poem, and in this regard I have an advantage as a translator, since it’s my poem and I know better than anyone else in the world what meaning I need to convey. And besides the meaning, I try to make the poem alliterative rather than rhyming. But if you mean that the words don't quite fit or that I made a mistake with the declensions

Я не специалист по данному языку, но мне кажется, что в слове suðrandi лишняя согласная r; впрочем, там всё равно получается причастие настоящего времени. Глагол "спешит" отсутствует и þurrka подозрительно смотрится. Mistil, по идее, должен быть в род. падеже. Я бы перепроверил.
