For Henry and Enid, Their Excellencies Skraeling Althing

Wide-ranger, wanderer, friend of hill's side,
Gentle when able and fierce foe when tried.
Faithful and fertile, such attributes rare;
Now charge full the North-cup and drink to the Hare!

Gaze to the southland like hill-strider wise,
Laugh at the North wind and predators' eyes.
Dash for the high hills and cast off dull care
Then drink from the North-cup, Waeshael to the Hare!

Fleet-foot in battle and graceful at dance,
Glad as the summer's sun and glen's expanse.
Dashing and daring, in form and mind fair,
Pray pass 'round the North-cup, a health to the Hare!

Singular mark of a singular place,
War-wise when needed, how wide its embrace!
Faithful, forgiving, such attributes rare;
Now charge full the North-cup and drink to the Hare!
