Throughout that pulsing Pagan night,
the Little people swarmed.
High above the chanting Druids soon,
a wrathful Goddess formed.
Death to every foe and traitor!
Pagans carve the fatal rune!
Cast all our spells together now-
'tis the rising of the moon!
Tis the rising of the moon,
'tis the rising of the moon.
Cast all our spells together now-
'tis the rising of the moon!

The Goddess headed for the East,
across the sea's bright foam.
What glorious havoc She did wreck
in London and in Rome!
And the Archdruid he spoke to us,
upon the following noon:
"I think we got our point across,
at the rising of the moon!
At the rising of the moon,
at the rising of the moon.
I think we got our point across,
at the rising of the moon!
Scharding's Note:
I suspect that the author of many songs in this collection,
Chwerthin, was a member of Hasidic Druids of North America,
or perhaps of the NRDNA.

A Book of Songs and Poetry
Volume One 1993
Mike’s Poetry
1993 Introduction
Compiled by Michael Scharding and Sine Ceolbhinn
This book is a collection of songs, chants and poems that I have
heard used or composed that may be deemed suitable to Druidic
usage (or maybe not...) It is in no way an exclusive or exhaustive
collection. Feel free to add or delete to its contents with songs or
poetry of your favorite writers or historical sources. Even better,
include some of your own compositions.
As with the Dead Lake Scrolls, this volume was originally printed
with amusing fonts, pictures and musical notation. This book was
an attempt to capture all the poems and chants in use during my
college days and to preserve some of my Bardic explorations. I
don't think many other people read it.
The song notation (only in printed copies) that I've included is the
best that my meager skills could provide. There are tonal
inflections that sometimes cannot be conveyed in script. Use the
music as a guide, not as a taskmaster. Many are in strange modal
forms of the key of C, my favorite singing key (but perhaps not
yours)
