AmFE
Come, Witches, to the Dance, to the merry Dance!
AmGFG
Our Lady loves our Lord, O!
CGFEAm
With pipe and drum in Moon and Sun
GFEAm
For fair Dian and merry Pan
GFG
The old ways are made young, O
CGAmFEAmFE
The old ways are made young!
AmFE
When midnight fills the sky, my true love and I
AmGFG
Will cast a circle round, O
CGFEAm
With voices strong in chant and song
GFEAm
We'll work our will and drink our fill
GFG
And dance the darkness down, O
CGAmFEAmFE
And dance the darkness down!
CG
To the Lady’s Dance of Life
AmE
Her sweet Piper calls
AmE
But if you should stumble
FE
If you should fall
CG
Rise up to the Rhythm
AmE
That embraces it all
CGAmFEAmFE
Come, Witches, to the Dance!
AmFE
All hail the Beltane fire! May it well inspire!
AmGFG
Burn triumphant to the Lady!
CGFEAm
She is crowned this day the Queen of May
GFEAm
O’er woods and fields Her green sceptre She wields
GFG
The Mother now holds sway, O
CGAmFEAmFE
The Mother now holds sway
AmFE
Farewell, Our Lady Green! It is Hallowe’en!
AmGFG
Now the Crone wields Her winter sceptre
CGFEAm
Though old and wise, young are Her eyes
GFEAm
Though Death She brings, “Rebirth!” She sings
GFG
To all that fades and dies, O
CGAmFEAmFE
To all that fades and dies
CG
To the Lady’s Dance of Life
AmE
Her sweet Piper calls
AmE
But if you should stumble
FE
If you should fall
CG
Rise up to the Rhythm
AmE
That embraces it all
CGAmFEAmFE
Come, Witches, to the Dance!
AmFE
Once in the Full Moon’s gleam as I lay in dream
AmGFG
Came the Lady to my chamber
CGFEAm
In earthly form like woman born
GFEAm
All Time, all Space lay in Her face
GFG
I rose to Her embrace, O
CGAmFEAmFE
I rose to Her embrace
AmFE
So queenly was She, I fell to my knee
AmGFG
And bent my brow to Her, O
CGFEAm
“O no!” said She, “Kneel not to Me
GFEAm
But stand! Arise! Open your eyes!
GFG
It is yourself you see, O
CGAmFEAmFE
Yourself you see in Me!”
AmFE
Come, Witches, as before, to the Shining Door
AmGFG
Fear not to fling it open!
CGFEAm
Fear not to see the Mystery:
GFEAm
That we are Pan and fair Dian
GFG
And evermore shall be, O
CGAmFEAmFEAm
And evermore shall be!
