An ash I know it stands-
It is named Yggdrasill.
High tree, sprinkled, With white mud;
There from come the dews-
That fall on the dale!
It stands always green
The source of Urdhr.
There from come the maids,
Much knowing; Three, their dwelling,
Stands under the tree;
Urdh is named one,
The other Verdhandi, They notched wood –
Skuld is the third.
They set up the laws,
They decided on the lives,
Of the children of man
They promulgate fate
