This is a rune I have heard a tree say:
"Love me. I cannot run away."

This is a rune I have heard a lark cry:
"So high! But I cannot reach the sky."

This is a rune I have heard a dog bark:
"I see what is not even there in the dark."

This is a rune I have heard a fish weep:
"I'm trying to find you when I leap."

This is a rune I have heard a cat miaow:
"I've died eight times so be kind to me now."

This is a rune I have heard a man say:
"Hold your head up and you can see far away."
