It's actually just the Norwegian Rune Poem but written in Eldar Futhark characters for flavor.
ᚠ Fé vældr frænda róge;
føðesk ulfr í skóge.
ᚢ Úr er af illu jarne;
opt løypr ræinn á hjarne.
ᚦ Þurs vældr kvinna kvillu;
kátr værðr fár af illu.
ᚬ Óss er flæstra færða
fǫr; en skalpr er sværða.
ᚱ Ræið kveða rossom væsta;
Reginn sló sværðet bæzta.
ᚴ Kaun er barna bǫlvan;
bǫl gørver nán fǫlvan.
ᚼ Hagall er kaldastr korna;
Kristr skóp hæimenn forna.
ᚾ Nauðr gerer næppa koste;
nøktan kælr í froste.
ᛁ Ís kǫllum brú bræiða;
blindan þarf at læiða.
ᛅ Ár er gumna góðe;
get ek at ǫrr var Fróðe.
ᛋ Sól er landa ljóme;
lúti ek helgum dóme.
ᛏ Týr er æinendr ása;
opt værðr smiðr blása.
ᛒ Bjarkan er laufgrønstr líma;
Loki bar flærða tíma.
ᛘ Maðr er moldar auki;
mikil er græip á hauki.
ᛚ Lǫgr er, fællr ór fjalle
foss; en gull ero nosser.
ᛦ Ýr er vetrgrønstr viða;
vænt er, er brennr, at sviða.
And English:
ᚠ Fe
Wealth is a source of discord among kinsmen;
the wolf lives in the forest.
ᚢ Ur
Dross comes from bad iron;
the reindeer often races over the frozen snow.
ᚦ Thurs
Giant causes anguish to women;
misfortune makes few men cheerful.
ᚬ As
Estuary is the way of most journeys;
but a scabbard is of swords.
ᚱ Reidh
Riding is said to be the worst thing for horses;
Reginn forged the finest sword.
ᚴ Kaun
Ulcer is fatal to children;
death makes a corpse pale.
ᚼ Hagall
Hail is the coldest of grain;
Christ created the world of old.
ᚾ Naudhr
Constraint gives scant choice;
a naked man is chilled by the frost.
ᛁ Isa
Ice we call the broad bridge;
the blind man must be led.
ᛅ Ar
Plenty is a boon to men;
I say that Frodi was generous.
ᛋ Sol
Sun is the light of the world;
I bow to the divine decree.
ᛏ Tyr
Tyr is a one-handed god;
often has the smith to blow.
ᛒ Bjarkan
Birch has the greenest leaves of any shrub;
Loki was fortunate in his deceit.
ᛘ Madhr
Man is an augmentation of the dust;
great is the claw of the hawk.
ᛚ Logr
A waterfall is a River which falls from a mountain-side;
but ornaments are of gold.
ᛦ Yr
Yew is the greenest of trees in winter;
it is wont to crackle when it burns.
