Children’s’ Rhyme Four

Colyne Stewart

July AS XXXVII (2003)

Cast ye down the great runes

Cast ye down the bones

Try to tell the future

Before the bean sidhe moans

Dredge the dirty teacup

Spread the doggie’s guts

Palm the wrinkles reading

Wise the woman gluts

Try to tell the future

Time to cast the runes

Sitting in the circle

Underneath the moon
