Generate meaning
1
Elder, elder
2
Watched a bird tend its nest
3
its coming and going put my mind at rest
4
And it told me to go outside
5
that this was the time this time was right
6
Cherry blossom, rowan flower too
7
Hawthorn buds and deadnettle in bloom
8
And so green green
9
dark green were the leaves of Elder too
10
And roots, roots
11
let me lie above your roots
12
Green shoots, shoots
13
let me eat your spring shoots
14
That cleanse the cold from my blood
15
like the leaves through the air above me
16
Elder, elder
17
Last night I had a dream I burnt your branches down
18
I cut your fingers and I burnt your crown
19
And someone made a whistle and someone made a pipe
20
and someone hollowed you through to blow our fire alive
21
And so green, green
22
dark green were the leaves of elder you
23
And roots, roots
24
let me play beneath your roots
25
Green shoots, shoots
26
let me eat your spring shoots
27
That cleans the cold in my veins
28
and like the sun it lengthens my days
29
Elder, elder
