Cracks
Frozen earth
Rite of spring
Feet in the sand by the quickening

Creek

Sister
How your ribbons dance in the wind
As of gold and clover
Lo!
As the wise men hallow the elements
Pray, don't cross on over

Spin
Hand in hand
Round and round
All become one with the sky and the

Ground
Whim of fate
Don't get caught
Twice in the wheel of the harrowing

Sister
How your ribbons dance in the wind
As of gold and clover
Lo!
As the wise men hallow the elements
Pray, don't cross on over

Sister
How your ribbons danced in the wind
As of gold and clover
Snow!
As the wise men hallowed the elements
And you crossed on over
