from The Lay of Sigrdrifa in the Poetic Edda.

Hail to the Day, Hail to the sons of day
Hail to night and its daughter!
Gaze on us gently, grant us sitting here
your blessings in our battles.
Hail to the gods, hail to the goddesses
Hail to the all-giving earth!
wisdom and lore, as long as we live
grant us, and healing hands.
