The Vernal Dance - Waylander

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
