Solstice Carol
Language: German (Deutsch)
A fire is burning The long night draws near All who need comfort Are welcome by here We’ll dance ‘neath the stars And toast the past year For the spirit of solstice Is still living here We’ll count all our blessings While the Mother lays down With snow as her blanket Covering the ground Thanks to the Mother For the life that she brings She’ll waken to warm us Again in the spring The poor and the hungry The sick and the lost These are our children No matter the cost Come by the fire The harvest to share For the spirit of solstice Is still living here
