| Ran very fast though we knew | B |
| It was not right that The Beast should master Man | A |
| But what could we Flint workers do | B |
| The Beast only grinned at our spears round his ears | C |
| Grinned at the hammers that we made | D |
| But now we will hunt him for the life with the Knife | E |
| And this is the Buyer of the Blade | D |
| - | |
| Room for his shadow on the grass let it pass | F |
| To left and right stand clear | G |
| This is the Buyer of the Blade be afraid | D |
| This is the great god Tyr | G |

| Tyr thought hard till he hammered our a plan | A |
| For he knew it was not right | H |
| And it is not right that The Beast should master Man | A |
| So he went to the Children of the Night | H |
| He begged a Magic Knife of their make for our sake | I |

| Our women and our little ones may walk on the Chalk | L |
| As far as we can see them and beyond | M |
| We shall not be anxious for our sheep when we keep | N |
| Tally at the shearing pond | M |
| We can eat with both our elbows on our knees if we please | O |
| We can sleep after meals in the sun | P |
| For Shepherd of the Twilight is dismayed at the Blade | D |
| Feet in the Night have run | P |
| Dog without a Master goes away Hai Tyr aie | Q |
| Devil in the Dusk has run | P |
| - | |
| Then | R |
| Room for his shadow on the grass let it pass | F |
| To left and to right stand clear | G |
| This is the Buyer of the Blade be afraid | D |
| This is the great god Tyr | G |
