Lyrics
Hearth (M. Russell)
Here we gather
We gather here
Around this fire
Another year
By this fire
Ancestors met
They may be gone
But they don't forget
What is hearth?
But heart and earth
Sacred fires
And eternal birth
Hear the fire
Crackle and roar
This house is small
But wide is the door
Amber and shadow
Dance the walls
To the music
The Spirit's call
What is hearth?
But heart and earth
Sacred fires
And eternal birth
Smoke and ash
Iron and stone
Turf and memory
Sown and grown
Smoor the ashes
Woman wise
Pass the night
Under Bridgid's eyes
What is hearth?
But heart and earth
Sacred fires
And eternal birth
