A celebration of Autumn, of the Autumn equinox, of the ancient Celtic festival of Mabon, and harvest time.
Mabon
Sweet harvest, rejoice in time of year
Feasting and gratitude at nature’s gift
Time to be merry and of good cheer
Before the weather comes adrift
Sweet harvest, all is safely gathered in
Threshing machines separate the grain
And stalks and husks are thrown in bin
Before the winter storms and rain
Sweet harvest, Pomona’s apply bounty
Time for gathering for the cider making
Prepare apple and blackberry pie for me
Before the gales are trees a-shaking
Celebrate Mabon: leaves, acorns, pine cone
The waning moon, the wise old crone
Sweet harvest, rejoice in time of year
Feasting and gratitude at nature’s gift
Time to be merry and of good cheer
Before the weather comes adrift
Sweet harvest, all is safely gathered in
Threshing machines separate the grain
And stalks and husks are thrown in bin
Before the winter storms and rain
Sweet harvest, Pomona’s apply bounty
Time for gathering for the cider making
Prepare apple and blackberry pie for me
Before the gales are trees a-shaking
Celebrate Mabon: leaves, acorns, pine cone
The waning moon, the wise old crone
