As the corn does rise from the field
As the wheat and barley are revealed
Scenes of life wake unto their birth
Drinking the great mysteries of Earth.

As the bloom and tendril does twine
Red and purple luster of the vine
Shining and wonderous, the blush of the land
Heaven is singing the grace of her hand.

Fragrant sweet apples, heavy on the bough
Maiden is singing, roses round her brow
Mother is laughing, it's Demeter's mirth and 
Ancient Eleusis alive with the beauty of rebirth
