"When the Lore is bruised and broken,
Shattered like a blasted tree
Then shall Herne be justly woken,
Born to set the Herla Free
On his brow a leaf of oaken
Changeling Child shall be his fate
Understanding words strange spoken
Chased by anger, fear and hate
He shall flee o'er hill and heather
And shall go were no deer can
Knowing secrets dark to Lera
Till his need to summon man
Air, Water, Earth and Fire,
All shall ease his bitter pain
Till the elements conspire
To restor the island chain
First the Highland grass shall flower
As he quests from wind to snow
Then he breaks an ancient power
And returns to face his woe
When the lord of lies upbraids him
Then his wrath shall cloak the sun
And the Herla foe shall aid him
To confront the evil one 
Sacrifice shall be his meaning
He the darkest secret learn,
Truths of beast and man revealing
Touching on the heart of Herne.
Fawn pf moonlight ever after,
So shall all the Hera sing
For the days shall herald laughter,
Born a healer and a king.
