andvari

When they were going along the sea shore,
The sons of Bor found two trees
And they picked these up and created men from them.
The first gave them spirit and life;
The second, understanding and the power of movement;
The third, form, speech, hearing and sight.
They gave them clothes and names.
The man was called Ash and the woman Elm;
And from them have sprung the races of men
Who were given Midgard to live in.
