lyrics

Handfasting

Man is no inverted tree,
his roots not in heaven bedded.
Charlock firmly to the soil,
bindweed nion to rock and field.
Not to rail against the sky,
spread our leaves to catch the light.

Once woad in bluebell wood,
the world was home, the larch was hewn.
Once woad in bluebell will,
the world was home, the eyebright sown.

Wood will! Wood will!

Man is no germless seed,
ripped from a rib indebted.
Sharp as shepherd’s needle need,
hitched us to the fields we wedded.
Not to rail against the night,
our woodruff chant our wood will ply.

Once woad in bluebell wood,
the world was home, the larch was hewn.
Once woad in bluebell will,
the world was home, the eyebright sown.
