Green Sun Comes

When the grip of Winter on the lands and waters ease, and the days lengthen and Winter's darkness fades to dusk before the dawn of Spring, the Green Sun, which has rested in earthly heat of Underworld, does arise again to touch and wake the earth, to quicken the Kinren who have slept their cold sleep.

The Green Sun breaks forth in the East, makes a dawn to bode the green-growing year. And it comes sailing, afloat the luft, borne upon a steady craft which steers a wending way oer all the Landschaft, touching all living things with its greening shine, mild and warm, a call to wake and wax once more, a growand-light of green and gold to melt the hold of Winter and drive it from mind. And sap begins to run again, and roots to seek to feed, and buds to fatten and break, and leaves like tongues thrust out the earth and leaves on stems unfurl, and flower-buds to rise and swell. And the Dyrkin get busy and go about, crawl about, run about, fly about, to do their work upon the land. And so the earth sings of Spring-tide, the waxing greenery dances in gladness on the warming breezes, and the Wildren in their lust greedily grasp and feed and breed again, as they always have.

And the Green Sun, having done its work and made the Spring, can slow to stillness, come to rest in its rightful stead, at the heart of the Life-world, to shed its lifesome glow throughout, for all the coming Warmer-tide to wield its sway.

Luft= air.
Kinren= plants and animals.
Dyrkin= animals.
Wildren= wild creatures.
