Which secrets are kept by this timeless being?

How much weight their branches have still to endure?

With a dense foliage it

Hides a cumbersome truth

For inwards is a burden of nine worlds!

Descending from the heavens

To the top of this giant tree

The air fizzles and sparks erupts

From nowhere to see

Multi colour rainbow named Bifrost

A highway to mortal's host

The cosmic tree, never rests, never plea

It's name Yggdrasil

Grows of the past and forever will last

Even with Nidhogg at its hell

Sturdy roots bind planes together

From Hel to Asgard

The spiritual and physical life

Is carried by elongated arms!

A channel of vitality to the slums

As a well, a spring, or a fountain it brings

Brings the substance outwards

Defiantly is resists to the passage of time

To never collapse!

But it's roots are chewed by the accursed Nidhogg

Other perils lurks with the form of ants

With hunger they feast upon it's buds and leaves

From the underworld

Serpents attack the most tender wood

Leaving wide gashes where pieces

of vibrant bark stood

Those wounds are repaired

Every morning by Norns

Sprinkling them with water

Preventing its decay

The cosmic tree, never rests, never plea

It's name Yggdrasil

Grows of the past and forever will last

Even with Nidhogg at it's hell
