Circles
Words by Unknown
Tune is Windmills, author unknown
In days gone by, when the world was much younger
Men wondered at spring, born of winter's golden knife
Wondered at the games of the moon and sunlight,
They saw there the Lady and Lord of all life.
Chorus:
And around and around and around turns the good earth
All things must change as the seasons go by,
We are the children of the Lord and the Lady,
Whose mysteries we know but we'll never know why.
In all lands the people were tied with the good earth
Plowing and sowing as the seasons declared
Waiting to reap of the rich golden harvest
Knowing Her laughter in the joys that they shared
(Chorus)
Through Flanders and Wales and the green land of Ireland
In Kingdoms of England and Scotland and Spain
Circles grew up all along the wild coastline
And worked for the land with the sun and the rain.
(Chorus)
Circles for healing and working the weather
Circles for knowing the moon and the sun
Circles for thanking the Lord and the Lady
Circles for dancing the dance never done
(Chorus)
And we who reach for the stars in the heavens
Turning our eyes from the meadows and groves
Still live in the love of the Lord and the Lady
The greater the Circle the more the love grows
(Chorus two times)
