Scene II
The sacred Oak Grove by the Tomb of the Kings
(Arch-Druid, Orbin, Druids, Druidesses and Bards round the sacred Oak)
Arch-Druid and Druids: Tread the mystic circle round,
Measure off the holy ground,
Thro’ the fire and thro’ the smoke,
Girdle slow the sacred Oak,
Tree of eld, whose branches show,
Brightest in the winter snow,
The pearl-fruited mistletoe;
Bear your torches thro’ the gloom,
Quench them on the hero’s tomb,
Where the stones are wet and red
With the blood of victims dead.
Druid Maidens: Thread the measure left and right,
Druid maidens, clad in white,
Loose your locks, your bosoms bare,
Breathe the godhead brooding there,
Hov’ring round your floating hair.
(The Dance ceases)
