Winter's Carol
A winter's carol, first song of the robinA winter's carol, I go through the landAnd I can hear it
Ringing out, ringing out from pine to oakBringing out with the December snowRinging out a gift to oldWrapped in ribbons of gold for the whole worldFor the whole world
The summer queen has been in darknessThe summer queen has been in darknessThe summer queen surrenders to thisTo him she reveals the secrets
To him she revealsThe wine ham secretsFor a time, for a time rejoiceFire and frost in marriage
Through a midwinter clearingA forest greets the snowy eveningYear after year, the holly kingPasses the torch as it was intended
Through a midwinter clearingA final kiss and a new beginningKiss on the queen wearing his wreathSoon with the sun she will be ascending
Through a midwinter clearingThe forest greets a snowy eveningWith wands of yew, the holly kingPasses the torch as it was intendedPasses the torch as it was intended
A winter's carol, first song of the robinThe sun is reborn from the starry heavensA winter's carol echoes the sound of wonderAnd I can hear it
Ringing out, ringing out from pine to oakBringing out with the December snowRinging out a gift of oldWrapped in ribbons of gold for the whole world
Wrapped in ribbons of gold for the whole worldWrapped in ribbons of gold for the whole worldFor the whole world, for the whole world
