lyrics

Barefoot through the dewy grasses
under darksome skies
by the full pale moon's bleak light
on the wings of the night I rise

Stealthy rise into the gloom
my feathers beat the air
Keen my eyes to pierce the black
and find my quarry there

Earthward plunge, and shift again
my feather-cloak I trade
for sleek the hide of swiftest hare
and dart into the shade

Over field and under fern
And through the shadowed grove
Among the reeds I change once more
into the deep I dove

Chased with silver, starlit stream
I glide among the stones
Water chimes upon the rocks
a-stirring in the foam

Warm the light that calls me back
above I see the blaze
The sacred fire that beckons bright
through the midnight haze

Fins I shed as fingers clasp
the velvet mossy banks
In human form I rise again,
and warm, and give my thanks

Hail the skies and hail the stones
and hail the glittering stream
Hail the flame which called me home
and dreams within the dream.
