A little something fun for anyone out there celebrating May Day/Beltane. Whether you are or not, I hope you have a good day today.
TEXT:
BELTANE
Comes the summer, comes the fire, Gaily fed and leaping higher--
Comes the ash, to keep at bay Cruel ghosts and crueler fae--
Comes the dancing in the dell, Bidding Mother Spring farewell--
Come the ribbons, merrily Wrapped around each bush and tree.
Welcome, days of warmest sun, Welcome, May-month just begun,
When the fields of golden grain Are made to grow by gentle rain,
When the cattle calmly graze According to their ancient ways--
Linger, summer, linger here, O most enchanted time of year.
