Our Lady Greensleeves II

Tune:  Greensleeves

(What Child Is This?)

Author Unknown

The winter moon is shining bright

The yuletide log is burning

Good people gather and tonight

the sabbat wheel is turning

Joy, Mirth, the Sun's rebirth

Noels of old we greet thee

Life's ring is the song we sing

of praises of the Lady

T'was at the feast of bright Beltaine

when we all were a maying

Sweet minstrel, pleated her gown of grains

Spring round the lady was playing

And though now robed in snow

Her wintery garb deceives

For bedecked with holly and mistletoe

She is still our Lady Greensleeves

So drink thee wassail everyone

Good pagans all make merry

With wine as red as the reborn sun

As red as Holly berry

Dance, sing, come join the ring

As the yuletide's boughs she weaves

Fair Queen, the evergreen,

Sweet lovely Lady Greensleeves
