A raven stole the sun one day
And the moon began to mourn
Tiny pieces broke away
And a thousand stars were born
Drummers in the distance
Pipers in the dell
A vigil til the sun returns
And all is safe and well
Silence in the darkness
Frosty winter nights
People lie in fallow fields
To watch the Northern Lights
Colors in the heavens
Stories to be told
Gingerbread and brandy
To keep away the cold
A raven stole the sun one day
On a dark December morn
The people wait and they dance and pray
For the first of Capricorn
Lanterns in the woodland
Branches covered white
Shelter in the evergreens
And cheery firelight
