By the earth,
This is her body.
By the earth,
Mother of us all.
By the earth,
Future and past.
The circle is cast,
The circle is cast.
By the air,
This is her bre-e-eath.
By the air,
Sweet wind of life.
By the air,
From the first to the last.
The circle is cast.
The circle is cast.
The circle is cast,
The circle is ca-a-a-a-s-s-t
By the fire of her bright spirit,
Shining candles in the night,
By the fire of her bright spirit.
Shine (shining) shine your light on me.
By the waters,
This is her blood.
By the waters,
The calm and the flood.
By the living waters,
Running slow, running fast.
The circle is cast, the circle is cast.
