happy may and may beltaine fires burn bright

[xiane]

Hal an tow,
jolly rumble-o,
we've been up long before the day-o
to welcome in summer,
to welcome in the May-o...
the summer is a-comin' in and winter's gone away-o.

or if you prefer,

Sumer is icumen in,
Lhude sing cuccu,
Groweth sed, and bloweth med
And springth the wude nu
Sing cuccu!

Awe bleteth after lomb
Lhouth after calve cu;
Bulluc sterteth, bucke verteth
Murie sing cuccu,
Cuccu, cuccu!
Wel singes thu cuccu
Ne swik thu naver nu.

There's no better way to bring in the summer than to be under the moonlight with bare feet in damp grass.


Oh! And happiest of birthdays to the Beltaine Babies - I have so many Taurean friends, it is CRAZY. nothingoth, ladymeshel, and bestiame, may this year bring you more joys than you can count!
