Rune Songs

The text for these songs comes from the Icelandic rune poem, this is one of three such poems that catalog the letters of the runic alphabets by providing a short stanza about each. These songs use 5 of the 16 stanzas, and are ordered to highlight the meanings in the stanzas rather than the relationship of the runes in the alphabet.
