Runic-Poetry-Kipling
Runes On Weland's Sword

Kipling was one of the most popular writers in history and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Many saw prejudiced and militarism in his works, but I include him on my site because of his live for the Northern European Ancestral Soul.

Runic-Poetry-Kipling

I especially like him and Frederick Nietzsche because the politically correct materialistic world we live in don't like them.

His poetry aboth the Norse Gods, Vikings and Normans is not as well known as his poetry about the British Soldier in India.

It is sad that I have to dig so hard to find his runic viking poetry.

Runic poetry, like any other poetry requires meditation and reflection because poetry is written on a different level that prose writing.

You can see Kipling's love for the runes and the vikings in his poetry. There are so few of these precious runic poems left that i am going to try and save this one on my site.

THE RUNES ON WELAND'S SWORD

1900

RUDYARD KIPLING

A SMITH makes me

To betray my Man

In my first fight.

To gather Gold

At the world's end

I am sent.

The Gold I gather

Comes into England

Out of deep water.

Like a shining Fish

Then it descends

Into the deep water.

It is not given

For goods or gear,

But for the Thing.

The Gold I gather

A King covets

For an ill use.

The Gold I gather

Is drawn up

Out of the deep water.

Like a shining Fish

Then it descends

Into deep water.

It is not given

For goods or gear,

But for the Thing.
