MIDSUMMERS'S NIGHT

Music and lyric by Jillian LaDage

It's a restless night amongst heathered fields
Farther green moss clings painted 'neath emerald eyes
Figures joined in chords and kinds
Fire calls to the tie that binds
The visions they rise on smoke filled rims
Parting intoned sighs, flocks flying high
'Mid links grown dim, the burning bush
Lanterns glide the fires high

I saw shadows that danced in the rolling night
Where the halo moon was riding high
To and fro near the old oak grove
'Til dawns light bright is leaping high
Bel fires light, Midsummer's night

Bonfires cross in browning grey
This shortened night lengthens day
When air lies full in hollow hills
The green host marches at suns standstill

It's a restless night amongst heathered fields
Farther green moss clings painted 'neath emerald eyes
In the blue veined sky resting visions rise
Crimson speaks to the wordless night
Where the fruit lies still in a trembling earth
The Rowan tree, Holly and Birch - Circles ring in ribbons of light
Where the moon lies full the fires arise
