CUP OF WONDER II
-variant lyrics by the Whyte Bard
May I make my fond excuses for the lateness of the Hour
But I accept your invitation, and I bring you Beltane's Flower
For the May Day is the Great Day
strung along the Old Straight Track
And those who ancient Lines did Ley will heed
this Song that calls them back!
Ask the Green Man where he comes from,
ask the Sun his way to bed
Ask the grey and Standing Stones where last they lay their head
Ask the Lady where She's standing, growing young,
and growing old
Cross the Lines of Nature's Palm, marked with Silver,
crossed with Gold
For the May Day is the Great Day
strung along the Old Straight Track
And those who ancient Lines did Ley
will heed this Song that calls them back!
Ask the Lady where She's standing in the green and growing corn!
Take the Cup that's ever filling
with the Blood of all that's born!
For the May Day is the Great Day,
strung along the Old Straight Track
And those who ancient Lines did Ley
will heed this Song that calls them back!
So, pass the Cup, and pass the Lady!
Pass the Plate to all who hunger!
Pass the Wit of Ancient Wisdom
Pass the Cup of Crimson Wonder!
(repeat verse 1)
