Come, Witches, to the Dance, to the merry Dance!
                     
Our Lady loves our Lord, O!
                               
With pipe and drum in Moon and Sun
                         
For fair Dian and merry Pan
                           
The old ways are made young, O
                                
The old ways are made young!

                                       
When midnight fills the sky, my true love and I
                      
Will cast a circle round, O
                                 
With voices strong in chant and song
                                    
We'll work our will and drink our fill
                           
And dance the darkness down, O
                               
And dance the darkness down!

                          
To the Lady’s Dance of Life
               
Her sweet Piper calls
                  
But if you should stumble
              
If you should fall
                
Rise up to the Rhythm
               
That embraces it all
                                
Come, Witches, to the Dance!

                                    
All hail the Beltane fire! May it well inspire!
                      
Burn triumphant to the Lady!
                                      
She is crowned this day the Queen of May
                                                
O’er woods and fields Her green sceptre She wields
                         
The Mother now holds sway, O
                             
The Mother now holds sway

                                   
Farewell, Our Lady Green! It is Hallowe’en!
                                  
Now the Crone wields Her winter sceptre
                                     
Though old and wise, young are Her eyes
                                            
Though Death She brings, “Rebirth!” She sings
                          
To all that fades and dies, O
                               
To all that fades and dies 

                          
To the Lady’s Dance of Life
               
Her sweet Piper calls
                  
But if you should stumble
              
If you should fall
                
Rise up to the Rhythm
               
That embraces it all
                                
Come, Witches, to the Dance!

                                         
Once in the Full Moon’s gleam as I lay in dream
                     
Came the Lady to my chamber
                            
In earthly form like woman born
                                  
All Time, all Space lay in Her face
                     
I rose to Her embrace, O
                        
I rose to Her embrace

                                
So queenly was She, I fell to my knee
                     
And bent my brow to Her, O
                                
“O no!” said She, “Kneel not to Me
                               
But stand! Arise! Open your eyes!
                      
It is yourself you see, O
                            
Yourself you see in Me!”

                                       
Come, Witches, as before, to the Shining Door
                   
Fear not to fling it open!
                          
Fear not to see the Mystery:
                            
That we are Pan and fair Dian
                     
And evermore shall be, O
                          
And evermore shall be!
