Beltane Fire

Water churning
Beneath the cauldron a-bubble
A pyre burning
To celebrate this festival
In her name
They chanted so proud
Before her flame
They took a sacred vow
To tend to the fire
That burns away
For others it will sire
On this special day
Beltane, The Fire Festival
A day of renewal
When the land is of estival
And the dark vanishes from Yule
They dance through the fire
And make their bread and ale
Their hopes and dreams aspire
And all becomes well
“In thy home I dwell”
“And thy hearth I light”
“Welcome and hail”
“And share in my delight.”
They sing and they dance
Throughout the day and night
By rhythm they prance
As the music blends into twilight
Jump, jump across
Leave it all behind
Remember what we’ve lost
And celebrate what we’ll find
The new fire has been lit
And so the season has begun
The sky is bright again
So let’s dance under sun.
