The Holly and the Ivy V

Tune:  Traditional Carol

words by Tina Galfo

The holly and the ivy,

In the forest side by side,

As the Lady and the Horned One

Together shall abide.

Chorus:

The leaping of the cauldron

And the dancing by its light.

The singing of the Solstice carols

To celebrate this night.

Our Lady is the Goddess

Who brings us joy on earth.

Let us dance around her circle,

The circle of rebirth.

Chorus

The moon is riding high,

Tis the winter of the year.

But beside the blazing fire

Is warm comfort and good cheer.

Chorus

Tonight is cold and dark

But tomorrow we shall see,

The coming of the Sun-King

In light and majesty.
