3. When the dark comes rising, six shall turn it back

Three from the Circle, three from the track
Wood, Bronze, Iron; Fire, Water, Stone
Five will return and one go alone

Iron for the birthday, Bronze carried long
Wood from the burning, Stone out of song
Fire in the candle-ring, Water from the thaw
Six Signs the Circle, and the Grail gone before

Fire on the mountain shall find the harp of gold
Played to wake the Sleepers, oldest of the old
Power from the Green Witch, lost beneath the sea
All shall find the Light at last, silver on the tree
