Welcome May
Sue Cartwright • 1 May 2024
A poem to bring in the new Summer season and blessings for our land
Welcome May, May King, May Queen;
Leading processions to bring the new month in;
On the cusp of a brand new Summer season;
Gaelic festival of the Fires of Bel, and bonfires of Beltane.
Welcome May, baskets full of wildflowers;
Beautiful blossoms from the rain of April showers;
Livestock return to pasture, to roam free again;
Children run in bare feet, quick and nimble like mini-hurricanes.
Welcome May, Jack-in-the-Green of milk pail fame;
Dancing figure of foliage in a wicker-wood frame;
Embodiment of the Spirit of Spring, we bid thee farewell;
As once our ancestors, fair maidens, danced to bless the coming of the milk.
