Anon Mfl 1III/1 — Knáttu

Knáttu mǫrg á mergjar
mjǫðkarms furu hvarma
hirðsamnaðar himna
hrynregn sali dynja.

Mǫrg hrynregn hvarma furu mjǫðkarms knáttu dynja á sali mergjar himna hirðsamnaðar.

Many streaming rains of eyelids [TEARS] of the fir-tree of the mead-vessel [WOMAN = Mary] gushed onto the halls of marrow [LIMBS] of the convener of the retinue of the heavens [(lit. ‘heavens’ retinue-convener’) ANGELS > = Christ].
