Rebirth and Renewal<br />
Formed from nine blossoms<br />
Nine buds of plant and tree<br />
A goddess of spring and dawn<br />
Heralds growth,<br />
rebirth and renewal<br />
And the darkness all but gone<br />
Boldeuwedd, Brigid,<br />
Sita and Rafu-Sen too<br />
All spring deities that<br />
bring life and renew<br />
Come rejoice and join the carnival<br />
And dance like daffodils in the sun<br />
Plant a seed<br />
for spring has surely sprung.<br />
