Lilly of the Valley
Blooms of springtime ringing
A spirit's sonorous bells
Hear the fairies singing
The life Beltane foretells
A miracle of time and space
Our Lady sheds a tear
Nature at her lingering pace
Will keep your vision clear
Celebrate the valley's gift
Embrace this kingly flower
Into a peaceful balance drift
And marvel at Earth's power
