Goddess thawing, restless sleep, Animate from slumber leap, Sow the seeds, plant them deep Protect, sustain, oh Anú keep. Gathered in the unlight, Longing for the sky Enticed by the warmth of the air outside. The warmth increases, at time to grow, Life energising, above, below. As the earth turns, The stars and the sun rise. Light floods the sky In shining golden hues And in due course The solar disc above Blesses the land The Vernal equinox is here. The light strengthens, to rival the dark The power of the Sun God, The earth in quickening To the beat of the sun, The buds burst forth, in glorious green. Life force of the fauna, Life force of the trees Growing day by day. The shamrock trinity From ancient times. The goddess of spring arrives. Winter is banished Life springs from death As Caileach returns To sleep's soothing depth.
