Yggdrasil

I know a mighty ash
That spreads all over earth
The greatest of all trees
Standing over the sky

Thee roots it has
Over three wells
Yggdrasil is its name
And many creatures dwell within

The first I know is with the gods
In heavens up high
The second I know reaches to
where emptiness once was
The third is far below
In the darkened realm
One creature is a burden here
Gnawing at the roots

Eagle of great knowledge
Dwelling in the branches
Hawk between its eyes
In Yggdrasil's mighty heights
Ratatosk, a beast of slander
Spreading vicious lies
And four slags running in the tree
Devouring the leaves

I know an ash standing
Yggdrasil height
a lofty tree, laved
with limpid water
Thence come the dews
into the dales that fall
ever stands it green
over Urd's fountain

The mighty ash , Yggdrasil....
