A Song for Idunn
A Sonnet for the Norse Goddess of Rejuvenation
Idunn, rejuvenator of the gods
Beautiful goddess of youth and vigor
Wife of Bragi, whose eloquence shifts odds
Your magic fruit turns winter to summer
One bite, and ancient gods recover youth
Those who seek your husband’s favor need yours
For clouded eyes, with your aid, see the truth
Fresh, vital words, every poet adores
And therefore, to you, skalds like me must pray
Bragi supplies eloquence and skilled speech
But you turn silent night to rhyming day
Visions elusive you move within reach
Radiant Idunn, love of every bard
By time’s cruel decay, remain unmarred
