Ratatoskr runs and runs
and runs the lengths of Yggdrasil
the Great Ash the World Tree—
runs the trunks of the Nine Worlds—
deciduous and evergreen—
maple and yew and alder
pine and fir and spruce—
gathering the seeds of plenty
from each incarnation
and each variation—
cone and nut and berry
green and sweet and filled
with summer life
for the fallow days
of winter time
