Chorus

Quarters call we to this place
Nature's cycles to embrace
Sun and Moon and Stars and Earth,
Seasons turning death to birth.

Verse 1

North is Earth and Mother green
Growing grain with golden sheen
Fruit and bud and grape and vine
Living, dying, god of wine.

Chorus

Verse 2

East is Air and wind and word.
Force unseen, yet felt and heard.
Message bearer, swift of flight,
Wind of storm and breath of life.

Chorus

Verse 3

South is Fire and passion flame
Beauty's touch and Hunter's name
Pipes of passion, forge and steel
Warrior Maiden of the Wheel.

Chorus

Verse 4

West is Water, sea and womb,
Blood of life in beast and bloom.
Circles from the clouds to rain,
River, sea and back again.

Chorus
