      Elds er þörf
      þeim er inn er kominn
      og á kné kalinn.
      Matar og voða
      er manni þörf,
      þeim er hefir um fjall farið.
      Fire he needs
      who with frozen knees
      Has come from the cold without;
      Food and clothes
      must the farer have,
      The man from the mountains come.
