Ruth Barrett - Hag of Winter lyrics

Artist: Ruth Barrett

album: Once and Future Amazons


Hag of Winter, Crone of Time
Your sap held still in silent rhyme
As visions bud on frozen vine
And wait for Spring's return
She rests within the frozen bark
Contained within Her hidden spark
Of seeds long held within the dark
To wake at Spring's return
Hag of Winter fast asleep
Neath withered tree stump dreaming deep
From shrunken womb Her daughter seeds
Awake for Spring's renewal
Conceiving self within Herself
The barren one, She carries wealth
Of all revealed or once beheld
As old springs new again
Boney fingers reaching out
From fertile soil sleeping sound
Til season's time comes roundabout
And She springs new again
She waits and breathes patient and slow
Her heartbeat drums beneath the snow
She'll bide Her time till she let's go
To welcome Spring's return
