Arbor Day Our Mystical Mighty Sacred Oak by Charles E S Fairey Today we adorn thee Oh Greatest of all Trees We fly colourful ribbons From you, the Tree of Woden’s, Attached to your fertile form Growing in power each morn to morn, Oh King of all Trees Oh Arbor Tree, We Adore Thee. Where we may repose and sit Beneath your green man spirit Under your Oaken gaze Our eyes with emeralds ablaze Whilst the Sun blazes above Its rays imbuing you with love And here below your driad souls Drink from your Faerie acorn bowls, The knowledge of the Oak King Your spirits, birds, whistle and sing, Communing with Nature You and We Performing our sacred rites, You and Me, Hear Us, Oh Druidic Oak Clothe Us in Your Ancient Cloak. Worshipped each Arbor Day An archaic festival some might say When your mystique is invoked St Brigit’s fertility ribbons soaked, Decorated with runic cloth each May A summer ritual, the last Sacred Sunday, Our King of Trees, Oh Our Sacred Oak For millennia you have inspired magical folk. In the wind we hear your divine song Angelic voices we have heard for so long From Hunter, Druid, King and Priestess, Your domain never fails to impress, You, the Centre of the World Realm All mystery and the All-Father at your helm. What have you seen Which of we can only dream Since your birth King of the Earth What of Nature have you known Whilst through millennia you have grown? Your animal spirits and sprites Passing through infinite days and nights, Sheep grazing around Lambs bleating surround, Oh Our Lord of Trees Oh Mystic Oak, We Adore Thee. Adorned with incantations and prayers The colours of life you now wear Watching over, guarding worshipper Teaching them, Nature’s eye opener, Your spirit emanates emerald greens The Wildman, Oak King, within our dreams, Watching over us immemorial, eternal Your love everlasting, paternal, Helping us ascend above A thank you for all our love, Oh Our Sacred Oak You adore us and we adore you, Clothe us in your emerald cloak, Each adornment our ribbons renew Our worship of Oaken you, Our King of Trees Your many druidic sanctuaries The Mystical Mighty Sacred Oak, The Inspiration and Power of magical folk. Watch Over, Guard We Adorn Us With Your Great Spirit, as We Adorn You May The Oak King and The Green Man Be Ever in Our Hearts So Mote It Be. Our Sacred Oak - Arbor Day 27th May 2012 |
