Beltane

Spirit of the Greenwood rising
Spirit of the May
Join with us in singing here
And bringing in Beltane

Hi yi yi yi
Hi yi yi
Ohhh

Come receive our fervant cry
And sing with us in song
Sleeping under Hawthorn
We awake before the dawn

Hi yi yi yi
Hi yi yi
She the way she rises
Mark the way she goes
Early in tt morning
Later shadows grow

Cross from winter into Spring
Let darkness be no more
Sprightly leap the beltane fire
And blessing will be yours

Hi yi yi yi
Hi yi yi
She the way she rises
Mark the way she goes
Early in he morning
Later shadows grow

yi yi yi yi yi yi
When the hour is darkest
Hope anew is born
We'll be bringing in the harvest
Reaping what we've sown
When the hour is darkest
Hope anew is born
We'll be bringing in the harvest
Reaping what we've sown

Rise up in the morning
Long before the day
Welcome in the summer
Welcome in the May
Summer is a coming
Winter's gone away
Greenwood is arising
Bringing in Beltane

Buck they shed their antlers
Following mating in May
So we leave our past behind and welcome in Beltane
