your return to us. Come back to us Lady! and bring the Spring.
The birds return from their winter home, Come back to us Lady! and bring the Spring.
The plants which went down into the earth are close to renewal. Come back to us Lady!
and bring the Spring.
The trees are waiting for new leaves Come back to us Lady! and bring the Spring.
Come back from the caves of Annwin, where souls are purged of pain and sorrow.

Come to us from the mists of Avalon, from the Apple Orchard.
Come from Tir-nah-Org, the land of blessed rest.
