Viking Myths and Legends


“In the dales dwells

The prescient Dis,

From Yggdrasil’s

Ash sunk down,

Of alfen race,

Idun by name,

The youngest of Ivaldi’s

Elder children.

She ill brooked

Her descent

Under the hoar tree’s

Trunk confined.

She would not happy be

With Norvi’s daughter,

Accustomed to a pleasanter

Abode at home.”
