Valkyrie Flight of the Lawn Chairs - poem

Flight of the Lawn Chairs

 

The Lion-Winds of March

 

Wild winds now rise to a Valkyrie’s strength

And dark clouds roar to the hammer of Thor

While lightning traverses the poor earth’s length

As if our Nordic gods have gone to war

 

As if our Nordic gods have gone to war

The walls and windows rattle against the rain

Foul enemies batter against the door

The wrath of Grendel, the hatred of Cain

 

The wrath of Grendel, the hatred of Cain

Have set my old lawn chairs to flying again!
