All across the barren land
Still cold from winter's hand
It has been a time for tears
Season of the goddess return
On this eve, the first summer night
Out of the darkness and into the light
Set the beltaine fires alight
Season of the goddess return
Hail! hail! the queen of the may
Now is the season, now is the day
A time to laugh and a time to play
Hail! hail! the queen of the may
Through the time when the green leaves hide
The dream of summer has kept us alive
Through the darkness we have survived
Season of the goddess return
Let the leaves be green again
Let us all be free from pain
Out of the ice and into the flame
Season of the goddess return!
