The Solstice Child

Tune: Greensleeves

(What Child is This?)

words adapted by Lunaea Wetherstone

What child is this who brings such light

that all who see Her grow hopefull?

The Solstice candles, this darkest night,

rekindle a flame in our soul.

This, this is the Solstice child,

the Maiden brilliant, the Maiden wild.

Come, sisters, to hold Her near,

the hope and the light of the New Year.

[Variant]

What Child is this, who brings such light

That all who see Him grow hopeful

The Solstice candles, this darkest night

Rekindle a flame in our soul

This, this is the Solstice Child

The Sun God brilliant, the Sun God wild

Come, Pagans, to hold Him near

The hope and the light of the New Year
