For he has taken the goddess within
In the green wood they dance, they embrace and spin
The power is building in the dark of night
All dance round the fires than now burn bright
Tonight we celebrate the union of life
The winter has now gone with all of the strife
Warm days now beckon so we play in the fields
Giving power to the land and encouraging the yields
The Goddess has taken her consort in hand
And now together they walk their land
For young they are and pleasures they seek
And I join them in the dance that’s not for the meek
This is a time to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh
Lay down in the orchard to your lovers caress
Beltane is a time for love and the union it brings
With the power of creation all life awakens and sings
It’s a time to laugh, make merry and cheer
Gone are the cold winds and the dead of the year
Now I walk into summer with my head held strong
And dance in the Witches circle where I have always belonged
Tonight is a time when freedom is sought
At the hands of the goddess and her loving consort
They teach us to be ourselves, find freedom within
Casting away the notions that are often called sin
Enjoy tonight the merry time of year
Enjoy yourself without redemption or fear
Tonight we are free to follow the path; the air is cool as we leap in the grass
The green man is watching from the every blossom bower
Dancing to the tunes of the pipe this midnight hour
Dance to drums on the distant hills
Dance to the Beltane songs and never be still
Dance in the fields where the power is strong
Dance in the open where you truly belong
