Morning Rise

Merlin's wand brushes the sky,
As the sun rises with a groan.
The caw of crows are harbingers
Of brightening days tomorrow.
Full rightly is the special one
Seated upon the Stone of Scone.
Prayers bring full circle ancestors, 
Whose Book of Charms they borrow.
     In four more days is Christmas Tide.

             Here Nature waits.
             The tree alive.
             These words are shunned
             By Rome's contrive.

This good day gives each a gift
To the person by his side.
Sealed now with song of return,
May Earth, in wealth, be well-supplied.
      In four more days is Christmas Tide.
