What a kiss on thy lips, dear Sister!
Like the wind from Fairyland,
Blowing away all doubts and fears.
All loneliness throughout the years—
Filling thy life with tenderness,
Wiping away all tears—
Watching near thee ever, ever,
Throughout the long, long years.
A kiss on thy lips, dear Priestess.
A kiss that takes not gives.
A kiss that is filled with sweetness, a kiss on which we live.
Oh, breathe out thy spirit in loving.
Oh, bind up thy heart in joy.
Think only of the joys of giving—thy years full of love employ.
Life is full of loving
Life is full of joy
Whispers the breeze of loving
Whispering to girl and boy.
Sweet little nestlings are waiting.
The springtime draweth near.
Open thy heart with loving
For the joy of the springtime is here,
For the joy of the springtime is here.
A kiss of Earth to dear Master
I bring you my wealth and my store.
I have but a pick o'er my shoulder
But I lay all its gifts at thy door.
A kiss on thy lips, dear Sister
And out of the earth comes cheer,
Plenty and life-giving forces
To save you from sorrow and fear.
Out of the darkness of winter,
When the snow and the ice are gone,
The storehouse of Nature shall fill you.
You shall gather her wealth in your barn.
A kiss on your lips, dear Priestess,
Earth's angels are whispering now.
Out of its bosom comes healing,
Out of its breath comes balm.
Balm for a spirit distracted,
Life for the flesh ill at ease,
Priestess of mercy and goodness
The earth brings a blessing to seize.
