[Image Description: Three screencaps of Rapunzel and Astrid. The first screencap is Rapunzel, with short brown hair, wearing a tiara, smiling and cuddling Pascal on her shoulder. Overlaid are the words ‘Kiss her’. The second image is Rapunzel, with long blond hair, wearing a tiara, looking nervous. Overlaid are the words ‘Kiss her as if she were Troy’. The third image is a screencap of Astrid, a viking warrior, with the words ‘and you were born for war’ overlaid.]

The Elements

So I was looking for these poems about the Four Elements. I found them on Wikipedia back in 2005 So here they are. @theforgottenlibrary 

I’m so amazingly happy that I found these poems again. I simply love them. I have no source so if anyone recognizes them please tell me what book they are from or the author. Like I said, I found these on Wikipedia back in 2005 an they aren’t there anymore. 

Water

This is the Water, my children; these are the creatures:

Whale who chants; Dolphin who speaks;

Calm content; salmon who seeks;

Pike who rages; Shark who mourns;

Walrus steadied; Wave transforms; 

Seal who gathers; Crab the lone; 

Otter wave-borne; Eel in stone. 

This is the sea I conjure, and this is the birth of the World.

Air 

This is the Air, my children; these are the creatures:

Far-flying Goose; far-seeing Hawk;

Owl who knows; Raven who talks;

Crane who dances; Thrush who sings;

Quail the humble; Wren the king;

Lark who revels; Loon who weeps;

Jay who scatters; Vulture who reaps. 

This is the Air I conjure and this is the birth of the World.

Fire

This is the Fire, my children; these are the creatures: 

Drake who hoards; Kirin who gives;

Angel who heals; Chimera who reaves;

Coal the slow; Lightning the quick;

Salamander, power’s wick;

Soul who praises; Gryphon who scorns;

Phoenix who dies and is reborn.

This is the Fire I conjure, and this is the birth of the World. 

Earth

This is the Earth, my children; these are the creatures:

Deer who worries; Fox who schemes;

Cat who conjures; Sheep who dreams;

Hare the playful; Badger the stern;

Mouse who teaches; Horse who learns;

Wolf who wanders; Boar who stays;

Stag who guards; Puma who prays.

This is the Earth I conjure, and this is the birth of the world.
