RITE OF SPRING

The rite of spring
Begins again
Gathered in the greenwood bright
Round the spiral the lovers dance
Bathed within the fertile light

The honey and the milk are shared
And through the dance
We cast a prayer
Calling in the summers wind
The rite of spring begins again

Circle round the seasons round
Circle round the ribbons bound
Binding tidings to the ground
The circle of the seasons

Circle round the seasons round
Circle round spiral bound
Binding tidings to the ground
The circle of the seasons

The ritual
Of mornings fair
The garlands that the mummers tie
A flower circlet in her hair
The earth makes love to the sky

And when the circle
Of day is done
By fires bright the lovers meet,
Through the night the rite of spring
And at dawn a merry light to greet

Circle round the seasons round
Circle round the ribbons bound
Binding tidings to the ground
The circle of the seasons

Circle round the seasons round
Circle round spiral bound
Binding tidings to the ground
The circle of the seasons

Reborn Reborn The barley and the corn
Reborn Reborn The thistle and the thorn
Reborn Reborn The suns goldn dawn
Reborn Reborn The crescents silver horn
