A Lay of Yuletide (Sketch)

O Tree of Wisdom, Tree of Light,
O Great Tree Yggdrasil
Tree of Life

Whose leaves the heavens graze
Whose trunk's the world embraced
And roots the deepest stones
Of Neifelheim

Perch of the Old One's yielding
Himself to Himself
The mysteries receiving
Carved in the shaft

And the cauldron at thy feet
The clarion waters
Of Lady Cerridwen
Vessel of all knowing
Past and Future

And whose fingers dare touch the waters
Save those of Gwydion the Fool
In whom our madness lingers

And blessed Son of Odin
The shining day-star
of Baldur's rays

Whose sacrifice shall bring
The end of days
