Naming of the days

THE NAMING OF THE DAYS

Sunday is the sun's own day;
Powerful-glows his warm, bright ray.

Monday has the moon's fine sign;
Pale and silver-white her shine.

Tuesday carries Tiw's name;
Strength of courage is his claim.

Wotan's day is Wednesday here;
Wisdom brings he, deep and clear.

Thursday's Thor, whose hammer blow
Makes thunder roll and lightning glow.

Friday comes from Freya the Fair;
Goddess of love with golden hair.

Saturn rules on Saturday;
Father Time moves on his way.

So once more comes Sunday's dawn;
Seven more days will be born.

Seven days, forever new,
These are days all named for you.
