Hail is the whitest of grain;
it is whirled from the vault of heaven
and is tossed about by gusts of wind
and then it melts into water.

Hagall er kaldastr korna;
Kristr skóp hæimenn forna

Hail is the coldest of grain;
Christ created the world of old.

ok krapadrífa
grando hildingr
ok snáka sótt

Hail cold grain
and shower of sleet
and sickness of serpents.
