Beneath its roots
Along the branches
Life blooms
Linked by the bifrost
Nine worlds endure
Yggdrasil stands
By urd's will gods gather daily
Not too far from asgard
beholding their realm
Meanwhile nifhogg gnaws
the roots of all extent
Adverse is the eagle on
top of the mighty tree
Ratatose the squirrel
hastes up and down
Through all the length
of the colossal ash tree
Bearing words of spiteful nature
Betwen the eagle and nidhogg the snake
Hanging on roots
Along the branches
Life blooms
Linked by the bifrost
Nine worlds endure
Yggdrasil stands
Hanging on a branch
through nine days and nights
Oden took his life
for death does not fright
Wind blows the leaves
for the eagle flaps his wings
The aesir feel their grief
for allfather's death
As the leaves hold the
power to restore all life
Open rises from the dead
gaining holy wisdom
An ash I know there stands
Yggdrasil is its name
A tall tree showered with shining loam
From there come the dews
that drop in the valleys
It stands forever green overs urd's well
Beneath its roots
Along the branches
Life blooms
Linked by the bifrost
Nine worlds endure
Yggdrasil stands
