I chant this carol still,
Starlit upon the hill 
There with the harp told 
A story of ancient old.

Child deep within my womb,
Child, Northland is your home;
Born to bring light in spring
Once more, on wintry hill I sing.

Some silv'ry melody
Sings winter's harmony
Earth is sleeping still and cold 
'Neath snowfall's frozen wing.

One standing very nigh,
One far across the sky
Both born of dark and light
Which ends and starts this winter's night.

(Not recorded):
Turn, seasons, turn me true
As I awaited you.
Your years may turn long
On Yule as the evening song.
