sun and moon and earth will be destroyed, and the
ash Yggrdasil wither under the flames of Surtr.

Black wanes the sun,
in waves the earth shall sink,
from heaven shall fall
the friendly stars ;

round the tree
red fire shall rustle,
high heat play
against the heaven.

But the Gods will be found again in ISavelli ;
the earth will arise again from the ocean ; the sun
that perished will have left a yet more beauteous
daughter to perform her task ; the deities will re-
member their ancient power, and the secrets of the
great god ; the golden tablets will be found in the
grass ; Baldr, the slain god, will arise from the
tomb ; Havdr, that unconsciously slew him, will
return with him from the realms of Hel, the god-
dess of the dead. ViSarr and Vale, sons, or rather
new births of OJnnn ; Mode and Magne, sons of
Thorr, will survive the universal destruction ; All-
father’s glorious kingdom will be renewed, and the
power of death and evil vanish for ever.

thus shall go,

JEsir meet

After, shall be

the golden tablets,

Then unsown
