Love and Blessings to You and Yours
This happy Eve of Solstice time,
We sing and dance and make glad noise
To celebrate deep Winter's Clime.
For Love is here and mistletoe,
The holly and its berries bloom.
We dance a carol, round we go,
The ivy winds around the room.
With wine and cake we make a toast,
And bring a blessing to our host.
The woods are bare, the snow is deep.
We wait for Love to sound the horn
To wake the children from the sleep.
To celebrate this happy night
When Winter may be put to flight.
