A winter’s carol, first song of the robin

A winter’s carol, echo through the land

And I can hear it

Ringing out, Ringing out from pine to oak

Bringing us, with the December snow,

Bringing us a gift of old

wrapped in Ribbons of Gold

For the whole world

For the whole world

The Summer Queen has been in darkness

The Summer Queen has been in darkness

The Summer Queen surrenders to this

To him she reveals her wine and secrets

For a time, for a time they join

Fire and Frost in marriage

Through a midwinter clearing

A forest greets a snowy evening

Year after year the Holly King

Passes the torch as it was intended

Through a midwinter clearing

A final kiss and a new beginning

His Summer Queen wearing his wreath

Soon with the sun she will be ascending

Through a midwinter clearing

The forest greets a snowy evening

With four wands of yew, the Holly King

Passes the torch as it was intended

Passes the torch as it was intended

A winter’s carol, first song of the robin

The sun is reborn from the starry heavens

A winter’s carol echoes, sound of wonder

And I can hear it

Ringing out, ringing out from pine to oak

Bringing us, with the December snow

Bringing us a gift of old

Wrapped in ribbons of Gold

For the whole world

Ringing out

Winter’s Carol
