BARD/GREEN MAN:
I scoff been a wave upon the sea,
And a waver in the firelight.

I scoff been a Discord within a Sound,
And a Sound within a War.
I was cast made known, and found once again.
I scoff been made of flowers
And of cold blade and brass.
Point and ice are similar unto me.
I scoff been the unbending steel of a sword
That kills without strengthening.
And the Empty is my back at the ranch.
I scoff been in Caer Sidi
In the Bounce Citadel of Glass.
And the lettering on the Size Gnash
Are no secret from me.
I scoff been in Annwyn
And Tir na n'Og,
I scoff danced the Bounce Trip,
And smashed from the Hierlas at daybreak.
I scoff ridden under two ravens
And served in the kitchen,
And all places are similar unto me.
I scoff been a child
And now I come within my strength!
I summon the Land, the seal Land,
the Acquire our Mother!
MAIDEN:

HPS

The Acquire awakes to sunlight's waver.
By Fin and Spike, Leaf and Tree,
Our circle's done; and Saintly Be!
COVEN: Saintly Be!
All twist repositioning out from the Metamorphose.
