Adelhard's Norse Alphabet

Hearken to me, for my list of great riddles:
Heroes and monsters, legends and idylls.

A is for Æsir who warred with the Vanir
B is for Byggvir who whispers to Freyr

C is for Cow who gave suck to old Ymir
D is for Draugr who spreads abroad fear.

E is for Eagle that snatched away Idunn,
F is for Freki, the gray wolf on the run.

G is for Geirrod who once captured Loki,
H is for Hela who likes her fires smoky.

I is for Irpa who answers with arrows,
J is for Jotun whose iron gullet narrows.

K is for Kvasir, inspired to be wise,
L is for Lóðurr, who caused Man to arise.

M is the Mist-Calf, made out of clay,
N is for Nerthus in her wagon each day.

O is for Oak Tree in perpetual fire,
P is for Poetry, when words rise the higher.

Q is for Quiet when the battle is over,
R is for Raven, the black, eerie rover.

S is for seiðr with the volva entranced,
T is for Thunder when the lightning-strikes danced.

U is for Utgard-Loki the grim,
V is for Valsgärde when the barrows grow dim.

W is for Wade who has come from the sea,
X is the X-kiss that binds you to me.

Y is for Yngvi, fertility shining,
Z is the Zeal of the legends aligning.

Now that my story has all come about, What was within will soon come without!
