Ragnar Lodbrok Day - March 28th
Spears have spared his limbs. His conscience
on the rack
Face life’s challenges, expand your
capabilities
Courage is needed, weakness is disease
I counsel you, swear no oath, but that what
you espouse
Hang the liar, swing him high, villainous is
he the wolf-of-vows
Truth in words, in actions and in deeds our
way of life
Deceit only has a place twisted on the knife
Mutual is affection when we open up our hearts
Those whose words are always fair to honor we
impart
Truth in words, in actions and in deeds our
way to go
Malice is an evil, nobility to know
Find a friend you fully trust and wish for
their good-willing
Exchanging thoughts and gifts, go often to
their dwelling
Remain loyal to your belief and to your kith
and kin
The benevolence of friendship, the great gift
to be given
The newcomer needs fire when his knees are
frozen numb
Meat and clean linen too, who fared from
whence they come
Water too so they may wash, hand-cloths, a
hearty welcome
Then courteous silence, for their elucidation
Early shall one rise who rules and set to work
at once
The late sleeper will lose, wealth won by
temperance
We must exercise resolve to uphold honor and
the virtues
Discipline the key to find this personal will
of values
Cattle die, kindred die, and every man is
mortal
The good name of who did well will never pass
the portal
We strive to be all we can be, honing our
ability
To do less would be dishonoring of self and
world and sea
A small hut is better, a man must master home
His heart bleeds in the beggar who asks for
every bone
To stand, need no assistance is one of our
ways
Be strong, have integrity, our goals are what
we praise
Learn to sing them, Loddfafnir, will take you
a long time
Help to understand them, take them from this
rhyme
We must persist in actions, until all is found
secure
Our path is not for the meek, we are strong
and will endure
