I am a circle of nineteen stones,
I am the Queen inside the mound.
I am the flame within the winter,
I am a serpent from the hole,
I am a cock who crows at dawn.
I am a kindled spark,
I am the welling spring,
I am a maiden all in green.
I am a cow newly calved,
I am the midwife and the mother,
I am the milk in a baby's mouth.
I am the fire beneath the cauldron,
I am the sun's image in a pool,
I am the water and the cup.
I am the beaten bronze,
I am the hands of the harper,
I am a frog hidden in the rushes.
The folds of my cloak form the green hills
My bright flame does not die.
