Seething across the Sky---gigantic gray Clouds swirl,
Thunder rumbles and roars---flashes of Light unfurl.
Heralds of His approach---the Din surrounds the Dark,
Brilliant bolts of Lightning---His Hammer's blazing Mark.
Hail to the Thunderer---Thor of Might and of Main,
Paragon of Power---Woe-breaker and Wyrm-bane.
Mother Earth's Steadfast Son---Midgarth Kindred He guards,
Warding us with Iron-gloves---Thor rules with our regards.
All-Father's Awesome Son---o'er the Skies He presides,
Thor stills Storms and Wind-wyrms---Protection He provides.
His Earth-Main and Sky-Might---meet and merge as Blest Rain,
Spring and Summer showers---grant Vital growth and gain.
Thor fared northward to find---His helpmeet Harvest Queen,
Sif the Source of Life-force---Spae-wife of Gold and Green.
Rowan-mate as Mother---mighty Oak-mate as Sire,
Their union brought forth Thrudh---Fair Maid of Ice and Fire.
While wending from Thurse-world---Thor met ancient All-Wise,
Old-one held Thrudh hostage---His pick as wifely prize.
To Thor's dare the Dwarf agrees---a will of words contest,
To answer all Thor asks---through the Night without rest.
Thus the determined Dwarf---turned to stone at Sunrise,
Common sense Wisdom won---First in Wit was Thor-wise.
Two fine Sons share Thor's traits---Magni of Might and Thew,
Modhi of great Courage---All are Brave, Bold, and True.
Our Mainstay at All times---He of the Noble Nine,
Firm bedrock and bulwark---Thor keeps chaos in line.
Through all types of travel---be it Land, Sea, or Air,
Thor wards our wandering---Wherever we may fare.
Holy is Thor's Hammer---Blessing Birth and Barrow,
Hallowing Home and Hearth---Oath-ring, Hof, and Harrow.
For those who wish us harm---He takes a Hard-line stand,
His Skull-Crusher Hammer---Held securely in Hand.
Watchful Eyes flash with Wrath---at any wrongs or woes,
Fire Strikes at the backsides---of All our fleeing foes.
Rapidly they retreat---ready to surrender,
Ever shall Red Beard be---our Doughty Defender.
Troth we Promise and Pledge---to Thor through All Urth's days,
In the Past/Present Well---Plentiful is our Praise.
Held in Highest Esteem---through All time He shall Reign,
As Thor the Thunderer---of Sky-Might and Earth-Main.
