Hornstang

An ash pole I raised nine foot long

And on it cut geases ten

Yan for the Black Lad who calls from the woods

Teyan from below the brawns haunted path

Tethera are the becks that feed the flood

Methera is fower footed goat jumpers blood

Tic for the spennies where King Boucca did run

Yan a tic’s a stang I ride to the sun

Teyan a tic trips in the Nicky-Nack race

Tethera tic’s frightened to show us his face

Methera tic the Nidstang a beacon of Hel

Bub for a Hornstang the beast and the spell

I send out Geri and Freki his kin

I set Black Finn on his Throne agin

To hunt the ghost-road by the gallows tree

Beware the woods for now they know thee
