The winter was long, the frost was severe No game had been brought down In this famine year The ground is still frozen The fields still lay bare New growth in the woods Was stunted and spare So they gathered together, Together they prayed A meal would be brought forth On this holy day Invoking her name to deliver them soon The goddess of the hunter moon They built a great fire reaching up to the sky And watched the full moon Take command of the night Into the clearing came a buck and a boar As if offering themselves in silent accord The people rejoiced at the bountiful feast In awe of the great power of the unseen They gave thanks and praised her For seeing them through The goddess of the hunter moon
