Daniel Wheeler - Dance of Imbolc Lyrics

She danced the ring of Imbolc
She danced the rounds of spring
She danced tonight to invoke
The hopes that it would bring

Of violets and lavender of each I take a few
To enclose with myre of dark green hue
As I sit and think of you
I will make them in a posey small and round and bright
That I may see my true love in my dreams tonight

She danced the ring of Imbolc
She danced the rounds or spring
She danced tonight to invoke
The love that it would bring

She was lovely and fair as a summer rose
Yet was not her beauty alone
Twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning
That made me love her so

She danced the ring of Imbolc
She danced the rounds or spring
She danced tonight to invoke
The love that it would bring

Like a moth to a flame I was swiftly drawn
Yet I heard her softly say
Take care my love don't fly too close
Take care you'll burn your wings

Take care my love don't fly too close
Don't fly to close to me
Take care my love don't fly to close
Take care you'll burn your wings

So I danced the ring of Imbolc
I danced the rounds of spring
I danced that night to invoke
The love that she would bring

The cool shades of evening their mantles spreading
And my true love was listening to me
The moon through the valley her pale rays shedding
When I won the heart of thee

And we danced the ring of Imbolc
We danced the rounds of spring
We danced that night to invoke
The love that it would bring
The love that I give to thee
The love that she did bring
