Here I am, embarking on the Bardic course. I thought I’d make my first offering, so here it is –
I hear your singing in the stillness of the night
Silvered moonlight Grove
Of Beith, Huath, Nuin and Tinne,
Coll and Duir – Mighty Oak, Guardian of all
Sing of Raven, Rook, Robin and Wren,
Blackbird, Nightingale and Owl
Of ancestors who have sheltered ‘neath your boughs
Of Squirrel, Rabbit, Wood Mouse, Brock and Red-Brush Fox
Sheltered there now.
Sing of Adder, Beetle and Earthworm
Mushroom, Moss, Nettle and Fern.
Awen flows like honey from your Sacred Heart.
Sing to me, sing to me,
Let others hear your songs.
