Sing of a Girl
 
Sing of a girl in the ripening wheat, flow’rs in her hand, the sun in her hair.
All the world will run to her feet for the child that mother will bear.
 
Sing of a girl that the angels surround, dust in her hand, and straw in her hair.
Kings and their crowns will fall to the ground before the child that mother will bear.
 
Sing of a girl on a hillside alone, blood on her hand, and grey in her hair.
Sing of a body broken and torn.  Oh, the child that mother will bear!
 
Sing of the girl that a new man will meet, hand in his hand, the wind in her hair.
Joy will rise as golden as wheat with the child that mother will bear.
 
Sing of a girl in a circle of love, fire on her head, the light in her hair.
Sing of the hearts the spirit will move to love the child that mother will bear!
 
Sing of a girl who will never grow old, joy in her eyes and gold in her hair.
Through the ages men will be told of the child that mother will bear.
 
Damian Lundy (1944-1997)
