Solstice, Art, Druids and Song

“The Druids: Bringing in the Mistletoe”
by Edward Atkinson Hornel & George Henry

*

Now is the solstice of the year Winter is the glad song that you hear Seven maids move in seven time Have the lads up ready in a line

Join together ‘neath the mistletoe, By the holy oak whereon it grows Seven druids dance in seven time Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming

Praise be to the distant sister sun, Joyful as the silver planets run Seven maids move in seven time Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming

Ring out these bells Ring out, ring solstice bells Ring solstice bells

~ Ian Anderson ♫ (Ring Out, Solstice Bells) ♫
