St. Columba's Plant I

I will pluck what I meet,
As in communion with my saint.
To stop the wiles of wily men,
And the arts of foolish women.
I will pluck my Columba plant,
As a prayer to my King,
That mine be the power of Columba's plant,
Over every one I see.

I will pluck the leaf above.
As ordained of the High King,
In name of the Three of glory,
And of Mary, Mother of Christ.
