[length: 05:19]
[00:11.36]Have you ever stood in the april wood
[00:14.52]And called the new year in?
[00:20.75]While the phantoms of three thousand years fly
[00:25.25]As the dead leaves spin?
[00:32.19]There’s a snap in the grass behind your feet
[00:35.07]And a tap upon your shoulder.
[00:39.86]And the thin wind crawls along your neck —
[00:43.67]It’s just the old gods getting older.
[00:48.76]And the kestral drops like a fall of shot and
[00:51.82]The red cloud hanging high —
[00:56.11]Come — a beltane.
[01:08.65]Have you ever loved a lover of the old elastic truth?
[01:19.25]And doted on the daughter in the ministry of youth?
[01:29.68]Thrust your head between the breasts of the fertile innocent.
[01:38.45]And taken up the cause of love, for the sake of argument.
[01:46.09]Or while the kisses drop like a fall of shot
[01:49.22]From soft lips in the rain —
[01:53.48]Come — a beltane.
[02:02.43]Happy old new year to you and yours.
[02:05.48]The sun’s up for one more day, to be sure.
[02:08.96]Play it out gladly, for your card’s marked again.
[03:21.63]Have you walked around your parks and towns so knife-edged orderly?
[03:29.77]While the fires are burned on the hills upturned
[03:35.17]In far-off wild country.
[03:42.95]And felt the chill on your window sill
[03:45.66]As the green man comes around.
[03:50.96]With his walking cane of sweet hazel — brings it crashing down.
[03:59.55]Sends your knuckles white as the thin stick bites.
[04:02.96]Well, it’s just your groaning pains.
[04:07.52]Come — a beltane.
