Hail Daughter of Anandyrdale
Maker, Mother, Fleur de Soleil
Hers a font that never fails

Armed with bow or cordial strong
Thread and feather, arrow long
Art and science sing her song

Deletha honored be
Verdant artistry

Baroness, well loved by Queens
One who says what she doth mean
Freya’s cats with her are seen

Victor o’er the flames of Surt
Or and Argent, Sable, Vert
Steady hand and mind alert

Deletha honored be
Verdant artistry

Patient teach by word and deed
Bellows breathe life to the glede
Bright the wisdom from that seed

Bran’s beloved, shining bright
Banthegn, Pheon, Aten Light
Laurel now is made and hight

Deletha honored be
Verdant artistry
Laurel made is she
