The Leaf Lady6 (Lövjerskan)

På ensliga hedens mossprydda mark
Boträdet står mot höstvinden stark
kringrännes av bemantlande barl
Dess krona mot himlen spirar
En urstam bemäld längs bergland och fåld
Oskönjbar uti grenverkets båld
Lövjerkan dväljs i ovädrets våld
Bland lavar som stammen sirar.

Trädandars dans i lövkronan rik
Ringdansen går till höstlig musik
Ett skådeförlopp nu döljt i mystik
Vid rösen och mörka granar
Blodströmmar sipprar ur trädrets rot
När skändaren satt sin egg vid dess fot
Den skändliga handling kräver sitt blot
Nu livslågan sakta danar.

[Ref:]
Lövjerskans läkedom
Helande rikedom
Lösgör från våndans bann
Midlans kraft själdjupet fann
Lövjerskans läkedom
Helande rikedom
Skänkt utav skogsdryad
I den gåtfulla offerlunden.

[English translation:]

The Leaf Lady6

On the moss adorned ground of the desolate moor
The house-tree stands against the strong autumn wind
Surrounded by a mantle of bark
Its crown sprouts towards the sky
An ancient trunk renowned along mountain land and plains
Invisible in the great foliage
The leaf lady dwells in the power of the storm
Among lichens that decorate the stem.

Tree spirits' dance in the rich leaf-crown
The ring dance goes to autumnal music
A play now hidden in mysticism
By cairns and dark spruces
Streams of blood leak from the tree's root
When the defiler has put his blade at its foot
This desecrating act demands its sacrifice
Now the life flame slowly fades.

[Chorus:]
The leaf lady's remedy
Healing richness
Releases from the curse of agony
Midlan's7 power found the depth of the soul
The lövjerska's remedy
Healing richness
Gifted by forest dryad
In the enigmatic sacrificial grove.
