Litha
by Nancy Venus
Ocean Mother of the deep,
down inside your heart you keep.
A love for me that will not die,
in the waves I hear you sigh.
The ripples on the water,
speak now, I am your daughter
Upon the foam of the sea,
let your face appear to me.
'Tis the time of strong bright Sun,
and water play for everyone.
'Tis the time of the Holly king,
and the leisure that he brings.
Listen to the wren that sings.
Watch him fly and spread his wings.
Now has come the longest day,
The shortest night is on the way.
Come oh Sun invigorate me.
Brightly shine across the sea.
Whole and healthy let me be.
Let us rise up on the shore,
Praise the Gods that we adore.
On us let their blessings pour.
Great blessings on this longest day.
May wealth and health come on their way. |
