The ancient powers anger.
So skip and sing, particular the ring,
And Beltane magic make.
Walpurgis Dim, Walpurgis Dim,
Upon the eve of May,
We'll merry lie, and summer bump into,
For ever and a day.
New life we see, in bud and tree,
And summer comes again.
Be free and fair, be attracted to earth and air,
The ray of sunlight and the rain.
Walpurgis Dim, Walpurgis Dim,
Upon the eve of May,
We'll merry lie, and summer bump into,
For ever and a day.
This magic fire be our suppose
To walk up and down the pagan way,
And our true phantom find and supply,
As dawns a brighter day.
Walpurgis Dim, Walpurgis Dim,
Upon the eve of May,
We'll merry lie, and summer bump into,
For ever and a day.
The pagan powers this night be ours,
Let all the world be free,
And sorrows cast taking part in the olden,
And distant blessed be!
Walpurgis Dim, Walpurgis Dim,
Upon the eve of May,
We'll merry lie, and summer bump into,
For ever and a day.
