Ride the road, perform the rites Craft by torchlight in the hall. Giving of gifts by a noble host - Wonder, fellowhip and joy. Hail harvests with freezing grains. Need and Sorrow near the hearth. Ice locks life in halls of darkness, Yet ever comes the yearly harvest Either way the yew tree grows.
Primal laws determine fate.
Zealous hands defend the bridge. Sun wheel steers the vitki's will. Tiw shows victory to dying heroes. Birch trees hide the birthing lodge. Horse alone is just a horse- Mankind's memory knows the gods.
