I sit alone on solstice night
to sing the songs and dance the rite
With bared blue skin and shiv'ring hand
I draw the blade to praise this land
By glowing flame and sparkling well
my humble prayers with You to dwell
I lay upon the frozen ground
while red robed birds, they dance the round
At Ladies' hearth and Father's door
This Solstice wine I now do pour
Lord's of North they bring the gale
to carry smoke and chants of Hail!
The Flaming Lady brings me heat
While Hammer Handed now to greet
Lord of Seas to open wide
To bridge the worlds the wounds divide
Flowing forth with streaming love
Life's glowing waters from above
Now falling back upon the Earth
This drunkard's mind will spin in mirth
I watch the branch's perfect script
Writ in stars and midnight dipped
I've drunk with Gods and Ladies bright
And kept the Ways this solstice Night
