A solstice song by Jethro Tull:
Now is the solstice of the year,
Winter is the glad song that you hear.
Seven maids move in seven time.
Have the lads up ready in the line.
Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring Solstice Bells.
Ring, Solstice Bells.
Join together 'neath the Mistletoe.
By the Holy oak whereon it grows.
Seven Druids dance in seven time.
Sing the song the Bells call, loudly chiming.
Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring Solstice Bells.
Ring, Solstice Bells.
Praise be to the distant sister Sun,
Joyful as the silver planets run.
Seven maids move in seven time.
Sing the song the Bells call, loudly chiming.
Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring Solstice Bells.
Ring, Solstice Bells.
Ring on, ring out.
Ring on, ring out.
(From the album: Songs from the Wood).

Blessed Be Moonfairy........:cool:
Brightest blessings as we celebrate the re-birth of (the Mabon,) the growing power of the Sun, from this darkest time of year.
I think Jethro Tull have the perfect winter solstice lyrics in that song Moonfairy!
I don't know this song, but I love these words for the solstice too!
Winter Solstice Song
Chorus:
Enter the night
And you'll find the light
That will carry you to your dreams,
Enter the night, let your spirit take flight,
In the field of infinite possibilities
On the darkest night
We search for the light
And we find it deep within,
Open your eyes to embrace what is wise,
And see the light of your own soul shining
(chorus)
Wrap up in the cloak of starry darkness my child,
And you'll find the center of all things.
For from this space from the deepest dark place
Life eternal does spring
(chorus)
So when you find that spark
When you dream in the dark,
Hold it close to your heart and know,
All that you see is all that you can be
When you give birth to the dreams of your soul
(chorus)
