Iduna

Lady of the Orchard

Waes Hael to Iduna

by Ingeborg

Iduna by Abigail LarsonWaes Hael from the Lady of Spring

In blossom of white and pink

Drifting down on everything.

Waes Hael from the Summer's Queen

Stretching toward the sky with leaf

And bud of perfect green.

Waes Hael from the Lady of Fall

With cartloads of apples, red-cheeked

And golden and green that we haul.

Waes Hael from the Comfort we find

In winter's spiced cider, all warmed

And blessed by the fire so kind.

Waes Hael she gives us, in body and mind.
