Waylander - The Vernal Dance

Goddess thawing, restless sleep,
Animate from slumber leap,
Sow the seeds, plant them deep
Protect, sustain, oh Anú keep.

Gathered in the unlight,
longing for the sky
enticed by the warmth of the air outside.
The warmth increases, at time to grow,
Life energising, above, below.

As the earth turns,
The stars and the sun rise.
Light floods the sky
In shining golden hues
And in due course
The solar disc above
Blesses the land
The Vernal equinox is here.

The light strengthens, to rival the dark
The power of the Sun God,
soon leaves his mark,
The earth in quickening
to the beat of the sun,
the buds burst forth, in glorious green.

Life force of the fauna,
Life force of the trees
Growing day by day.
The shamrock trinity
From ancient times.
The goddess of spring arrives.

Winter is banished
Life springs from death
As Caileach returns
To sleep’s soothing depth.
