Chorus of Women
Ay, upon the camp’s high wall
All our children loved they slay.
Ah, what cruel victors they!
And we all
Hasten to a certain fall.
A Druid
Who fears to-day
His rites to pay,
Deserves his chains to wear.
The forest’s free!
This wood take we,
And straight a pile prepare!
Yet in the wood
To stay ’tis good
By day, till all is still,
With watchers all around us plac’d
Protecting you from ill.
With courage fresh, then let us haste
Our duties to fulfil.
