lesson 1: a mistake?

Hello. I have a question regarding the very end of lesson 1. The
second line of the Voluspa that is quoted "Heitir Yggdrasill." Now it
states that "in poetry it is quite normal for the subject to be
dropped.". What I was wondering is why Yggdrasill (the compliment of
this sentence) does not have the suffix -r.
Is this a mistake or is it because the subject of this sentence has
been dropped? Or is there another 'more advanced'(or blatantly
obvious) reason?
Just curious.
