The text reads as follows:[2]
Brûnáim baíriŝ baírka bôgum*
láubans liubans liudandei,*
gilwagrôni, glitmunjandei,*
bagmê blôma, blauandei,*
fagrafahsa, liŝulinŝi,*
fráujinôndei fairguni.
Wôpjand windôs, wagjand lindôs,*
lûtiŝ limam láikandei;*
slaíhta, raíhta, hveitarinda,*
razda rôdeiŝ reirandei,*
bandwa baírhta, rûna gôda,*
ŝiuda meina ŝiuŝjandei.
Andanahti milhmam neipiŝ,*
liuhteiŝ liuhmam laúhmuni;*
láubos liubái fliugand láusái,*
tulgus, triggwa, standandei.*
Baírka baza beidiŝ bláika*
fráujinôndei faírguni.
