Beltane Chant
by Clown
Feathered winds come dance with me
Lift me from the ground.
Join my waltz, my spirit, freed
As we are upward bound.
Tongues of flame come jump with me
Ye purifying fires,
Join my joy, my playful glee
As we move yet higher.
Tears from seas, come sing with me
Roll from out the caves,
Join my verse, my body cleansed
In your healing waves.
Mother Earth come laugh with me
Set aside your toils,
Join my chant of forests green
Secure me in rich soil.
Earth and Air, Fire and Sea
I call you all, come dance with me!
Grant me now a sacred space
While working magic in this place.
The Fair Maid
by Arthur Rackham. Frontispiece, May 1913
The fair maid who
the first of May
goes to the field
at break of day
and bathes in the dew
of the hawthorne tree
will ever after
handsome be
