Yggdrasil
H. C. Andersen
Under Ygdrasil-Træ var Gudernes Sted, -
Træet er dødt og Guderne med!
Translation by D. L.
Ashliman:
Beneath Yggdrasil-Tree was the place of the Gods.
The tree is dead, and the Gods as well.
- Translator's note: Although Andersen spells the tree's name
Ygdrasil, the normal spelling is Yggdrasil.
