Hi said the Lady, dressed in green The Circle forms, the Circle flows
|
|
prettiest thing I've ever seen the Circle goes where no man knows
|
|
she went down underneath the hill Hail to the Lady, one in three:
|
|
and came back out of her own free will Present is Past and Past is Me!
|
|
|
|
Brian Boru, on Irish ground Hi said the Lady dressed in white
|
|
walked three times the Island round sang the Day and sang the Night
|
|
Norsemen came lookin for a fight sang the Land and sang the Sea
|
|
just another Irish Saturday night! sang the Song, and then sang Me!
|
|
|
|
Hi said Lugh on the banquet night Salt and oil and mirror bright
|
|
a poet and a player and a good wheelwright fire and fleet and candlelight
|
|
a harper and a warrior and none the least: by fin and feather, leaf and tree,
|
|
|
|
a Druid and he got in to the Feast! fill the cup and blessed be!
|
|
|
|
Harold Haardrada's face was red! From the misty crystal sea
|
|
Came to Britain and he wound up dead Came the Lady to the lea
|
|
Stamford Bridge is where he's found Sword and Roses in Her Hand
|
|
got six feet of English ground Spread their seeds thruout the Land
|
|
|
|
the Legion with it's Eagles bright Came the Stag from oaken wood
|
|

|
|
met them there upon the sand by the fire burning bright
|
|
gave em up to the Wicker Man! came to know his heart's delight!
|
|
|
|
eight-legged steed and hound of Hel By Sword and Harp, and Irish Hound
|
|
the one-eyed Man, he loves ya well Blessed Be: the Day I've found
|
|
fire burn and fire spark Hail to the Lady, one in Three
|
|
are you then feared of the dark? Present is Past and Past is WE
|
|
|
|
Rhiannon's Birds are still in flight By Oak and Ash and Holy Thorn
|
|
all thru the Day all thru the Night Blessed be the Day you're born!
|
|
Hail to the Lady, one in Three Fire burn and fire bright
