Lady of the Glen
i hear the Lady of the Glen
from all branches of the forest paths
i feel her danding upon the earth
i hear her voice upon the wind
i hear her echo in the water
i feel her rhythms in the fire
She comes to you in many ways
either by the voices on the wind
the rhythm of the wood
the echo of the water
or the dance within the fire
She is all and all to hold in desire
The Lady of the Glen rules all here
the fire of the earth sings in your blood
the echo of the water flows through you
the dance of the wood is a feeling inside
and the voices on the wind are the Lady's
and only those who know her
can hear the voice of the Eternal Goddess
