I walk down the road again.
I look off in the distance
I go toward the flickering flame,
They invited me to join the merriment,
So I joined in on the gaities,
"My Children I thank you dearly."
Suddenly she completely vanished.
I asked a Brownie who was sitting
He looked at me and kindly smiled.
I accepted his cryptic answer
So I walked the path once again.

A path I know so well.
It leads to an ancient temple
And the place where Faeries dwell.
In the woods of this Full Moon night.
I see somethng brightly glimmering.
Must be a bonfire's light.
To see where it may lead.
There was a group of Brownies
Dancing, singing, and drinking mead.
In honor of the bright Full Moon,
In honor of the Goddess Brigid,
Who may arrive very soon.
An amazing feeling; I confess.
Soon a woman did appear.
A woman in an emerald green dress.
She said with a soft but powerful tone,
"May your families always be blessed."
Brighter than the Moon she shone.
No sign she was even there.
The Brownies just kept partying,
Dancing and singing without a care.
On the ground by an old oak tree,
If the lady was somewhere around,
And who that lady may be.
His eyes were all a glow,
"She is always, forever 'round you.
She is somebody you already know."
And decided it was time to go.
I thanked the Brownies deeply.
"You're always welcome, when Full Moon doth show."
This time back to which I came,
Knowing I had met the Goddess Brigid,
And nothing will ever be the same.
