A Charm for Fire in Winter
Loudly she roars, Lung-Spear,
screaming wind, spitting ice.
Rise up, o Fire,
shield us from Her rage.
Come, o spark,
rise up from your bed,
made from the Green God’s hair.
Come, o flame,
rise up from your bench,
made from the Green God’s bones.
Come, o fire,
rise out of your hall,
made from the Green God’s limbs.
Roar, o blaze!
Answer her wrath,
and keep us ’til Sun’s return.
