Beloved Br​ì​ghde

from Canticle of Creation by Simon de Voil

/

lyrics

Beloved maiden, sweet Brigid
you are the spring and new life for this world.
Men may defile you, women may banish you
but you cannot be removed from the soil.

There was a time when you could not bare it all
and your tears soaked the earth for what you saw.
On that hallowed ground there grew a fruit tree
with Eden's fruit, brought to light,
through your tears.

Oh wise midwife, threshold keeper
there's a harsh bitter cold in these times
but in your tender heart there lives a beauty
it's the gold that fills the cracks where we divide.
Beloved maiden, sweet Brigid
you are the spring and new life in my veins.
