Oh Helm & Hammer

Here is a poem I wrote for a collection I'm in the process of making that are mythological and/or historical in nature. The funny thing is that up to high school, I hated poetry! This one is meant to be like a song; so think something like to the tune of "To Holmgard And Beyond" by Turisas (http://tinyurl.com/dn74lp). I hope you like it!

Oh Helm & Hammer!

Oh Thor and Odin protect us

Let us be swift and mighty

Give us gold, mead, and women

Bring down the helm and the hammer

Oh Heimdall and Baldr be with us

We sail on the waves to green isles

Send winds to blow in our sails

Bring down the spear and the sword

Oh Loki and Hel don't betray us

Wreak havoc on those we attack

Let us die with a sword in our hands

Bring down the arrow and the axe

Oh for the helm and the hammer

Bring us strength for the fight,

Peace in the night,

And keep the shore forever in sight

May the helm and the hammer

Be with us 'til we die

Be with us 'til we die
