The ears of John Barleycorn


*Gather loved ones, gather friends,
Healing wounds and making mends.
Lighting fires: The feast begins
As the wheel turns


*Lo, John Barleycorn's golden brow,
Place upon it the Wild Lord's crown.
We'll soon get to cut him down
As the wheel turns.


*Mark you all this time of year.
Bring in grains and make your beer.
Bake some bread and bring good cheer,
As the wheel turns

Brightest Blessings to you all for Lughnasadh. Don't forget to bake some bread, eat it with jam and drink a glass of bear. Fitting food for the first of the harvest festivals :)

Those are happy, uplifting lines. I like saying them.
