The World's Wedding (One Single Kiss)

As poppies fired the nut-brown wheat

My love rode by with sun-stained feet

With a longing call and horse hooves fleet

I followed her laughter all a summer morn

But, oh, from a distant palace of shade

I heard the rune of my nature played

I strained to listen and lost the maid

And walked the world forlorn

When the circle green was brown with leaves

My love rode by as one that grieves

I left my stand within the sheaves

And followed her weeping all an autumn noon

From beyond the sunset splashed with red

A circle weighed upon my head

I begged embrace but she had fled

Beyond the dawning moon

When the woods were covered with snow drifts deep

My love passed by as one asleep

I left the earth my horns to keep

And followed her dreaming all a winter's night

And all along the moonlit track

With thorny shadows printed black

I caught a scent and turned my back

And lost my life's delight

Maiden of the secret well

I strain for you, yearning

From upon the oak throne quivering

Mistress of the hornèd moon

I pain for you, burning

Underneath the blue stone shivering

I need you, i need you, i need you....

When heather primed the morning air

My love arose, and i was there

A thousand flowers in her hair

And in her eyes was the wheel of time

Reached for her hand, i did not miss

Combining all this diverse bliss

Forged together in one single kiss

We made the world one in rhyme
