Sickle Moon


In the meanness of the winter, when I looked up high
I saw the sickle moon shining in the sky
Over the whitened rooves of the town
Calling my lonely heart to the dance

You are beautiful if you love me, will you marry me?
Be my wife, share my bed, bear my child, live as wed
You are beautiful, if you love me, will you marry me?

In the meanness of the winter she lighted up my eyes
White as ice her steely gaze
Longing and rebellious and curled up in the cloud
I threw back my head and I cried out loud

Are you willing me away from my home and field?
Are you calling me away into the wild?
Tearing up the roots I have set in the ground
Scattering the flowers that I have sown?

Do I have a will or must I follow?
Will you still need me in the pale light of the morrow?
Listen to the singing-birds, surprised by the dawn
They sing this is a day, which night was a dream
