The song of Havamal

I know that I hung on the windswept tree
Through nine days and nine nights
I was pierced with a spear and given to Odin
Myself given to myself
On that tree, which no man knows
From which root it rises
They helped me neither by bread
Nor by drinking horn
I took the runes
Screaming, I took them
Then I fell back from there ...
