Can you name me? I am the wanderer who never walks. I am Murder's daughter, yet I am Thought and Memory in the eye of a god.
Can you name me? I am one of three, and yet three are one in me. I uncover which has been buried, yet no man's hand moves.
Can you name me? To pay my weregild, they try to kill me, but adorn me with silver and I laugh. I know the four winds and the four points of the compass, and all tell me their secrets.
Can you name me? I have stolen the sun, he thanked me for it. I have been bartered by the moon, and she abandoned me for the service I did her
Can you name me? Gaia made me tell her stories, and yet, when the dead speak, I listen. They say I make murders, but they lie; I am the father of an unkindness instead.
Can you name me? I feed with the wolf and the eagle, but I walk among men.
Can you name me? For I can name you.

No... It's a Raven or a Cow. Murder? Thought and Memory? OBVIOUS!

Thought and Memory in the eye of a god?
Those are Odin's Ravens, Huginn and Muninn. Huginn is Thought and Muninn is Memory.
Murder= a flock of crows/ravens
In folklore, werecrows are immune to silver, but weak against gold.
Crows and ravens of myth are symbolically linked with death, because they are scavengers. Thus "I listen when the dead speak".
