Into the granite : stave by stave
 Carved ploughwise : now read my tale
 The raging ocean I have sailed
 Many a man I have maimed

 Shields I have [bad word] with my sword
 Women have I pleased endless nights
 On foreign coast my brother did fall
 He now dines in great hall up high

 Erected the stone against a twilight sky
 Read Sea Wolf's tale

 From the coasts of the west to Sarkland
 to the marshlands and the forests of the east
 High adventures : great riches and wine
 Blood shed : great battles and feasts

 My stone firm in mother earth through rain and time
 Read Sea Wolf's tale
