All across the barren land
Still cold from winter's hand
It has been a time for tears
Season of the goddess return
On this eve, the first summer night
Out of the darkness and into the light
Set the Beltaine fires alight
Season of the goddess return
Hail, hail the Queen of the May
Now is the season, now is the day
A time to laugh and a time to play
Hail, hail the Queen of the May
Through the time when the green leaves hide
The dream of summer has kept us alive
Through the darkness we have survived
Season of the goddess return
Let the trees be green again
Let us all be free from pain
Out of the ice and into the flame
Season of the goddess return, oh
Hail, hail the Queen of the May
Now is the season, now is the day
A time to laugh and a time to play
Hail, hail, the Queen of the May
♪
Hail, hail the Queen of the May
In the summer lies where we shall play
In the metal sweet of ancient May
Hail, hail the Queen of the May
Hail the Queen of the May
With us sweet hands are long to hail
Hail, hail the Queen of the May
Hail the Queen of the May
Forever, ever, and a day
Hail, hail the Queen of,
Queen of, Queen of, Queen of the May
Hail, hail, hail, hail the Queen of the May
We dance all through the long summer days
Hail, hail, hail, hail
