Eddic Poem: Grímnismál

Ór Ymis holdi
Var jǫrð of skǫpuð,
En ór sveita sær,
Bjǫrg ór beinum,
Baðmr ór hári,
En ór hausi himinn.
En ór hans brám
Gerðu blíð regin
Miðgarð manna sonum,
En ór hans heila
Váru þau in harðmóðgu
Ský ǫll of skǫpuð.

[From Ymir's hide
Was earth created,
Seas from sweat,
Peaks from bones,
Trees from hair,
And from his skull the sky.
And from his brows
Made these blithe powers
Shelters for the sons of men,
And from his brains
The dark and baleful
Clouds were all then strung.]
