A Poem in thanks for prayers answered

On Elfin Stone
By: Shawn Rowland

Shimmering in Sol's embrace
On crystal stone of elfen grace
An offering of man's design
For health and wealth and life so fine
Gods did answer, ancestors too
To bespoken prayer and calling doom
To aid did they rush for kith and for kin
Bring hope in the light of Freyja's dawn
By Hammer strength and raven's flight
With Vanic might and Fehu's right
The elfin stone was covered so full
Like a lover's staff in glimmering pools
Thanks are given and roads not overgrown
The Gods are kind and their glory shown
So let the days of prosperity run strong
Through rooftrees all and for mannish throngs
Let never cease the days of Frith
And know forever that you, the Gods are with
For be it beer, fruit, or bread
For the Gods or those now dead
A gift given, is a gift returned
And the Great Tree grows while ill is burned
On Elfin stone is this gift given
Poured over and in, the Well is deepened
May bonds never fail and Wyrd never fall
No more springless winters, and joy for us all
