Angantýr Lv 3VIII (Heiðr 32)/1 — Hnigin ‘fallen’

Hnigin er helgrind,         haugar opnaz,
allr er í eldi         eybarmr at sjá.
Atalt er úti         um at lítaz;
skyntu, mær, ef þú mátt,         til skipa þinna.

Helgrind er hnigin, haugar opnaz, allr eybarmr er at sjá í eldi. Úti er atalt at lítaz um; skyntu, mær, ef þú mátt, til skipa þinna.

Hel’s gate is fallen, mounds open, one can see the whole island-edge on fire. Outside it is terrible to look around; hurry, girl, if you can, to your ships.
