Summary: An incomplete catalog of the Ogham Trees set in complex form.



Iron and Crystal Lamp





Rushes are round and sedges have edges
They grow in wet ground, surrounded by hedges,
Of willow wood sound and not on high ledges

Yew trees have arils, Ash trees ash-keys
Aspen and Mallow, umbrellas for bees
Field grasses hollow, Thistles that tease

Rowans have berries, vines all entwine
Beech leaves are serried, Birch leaves bright shine
Hawthorn may carries, as hedgerows they line

Alder and elder, oak ivies climb
Holly and hazel and birches sublime
Ogham and honor combine in this rhyme
