Flowers make your skin quite fine;
Berries good for jam or wine,
But if wood for fire you take,
An enemy of the tree you'll make.

In this tree much magick dwells
But use great care when casting spells.
If the Faeries you would see
Use blossoms from the Elder tree.

Threefold back will come the bite
If a spell is cast in spite;
But set a spell of kindness free,
And threefold times you'll blessed be.
