Moon rise and star fall Fire burn and night wind call Drumbeat the wild song That heart sings at summer's dawn Sown are the new fields With bright seed of harvest's yield Far down the roots bind The heart's joy to summer's time Leave the fire and come with me We'll lie beneath the flowering tree And feel the breathing of the earth Rise and fall The green time sings its song again To wake the hill, to wake the glen And raise in every living thing An answering call Leap o'er the May fire Hold close your sweet desire For life's wheel will grant soon The heart's wish for summer's bloom Green shoot and pale flower Garland the Beltane bower Circle with joined hands For heart shines with summer's dance Leave the fire and come with me To walk beside the dreaming sea Following the fading stars As the new day dawns We'll try to catch time in our hands To hold the wave against the sand And watch this glow upon the land That soon will be gone So drum beat and flute sound Once more we'll circle 'round For the world turns and the wheel spins And all ends that once begins This green hour, the heart knows Is brief as the budding rose Though wheel turn and bloom fade The heart sings the birth of May
