Huldana

Mother, please take me down to the water
Huldana, Huldana
I will be your waxing daughter
Huldana, Huldana
The Sun came in with bursting light
And took my youth with all its might
Mother please take me down to the water
Huldana, Huldana

Mother, please teach me how to make bed
Huldana, Huldana
The feathered pillow’s shaken and fat
Huldana, Huldana
The Moon has kissed my brow so soon
And brought her song down to my womb
Mother, please teach me how to make bed
Huldana, Huldana

Mother, please teach me how to bake bread
Huldana, Huldana
The hearth is clean and lovingly swept
Huldana, Huldana
The stars have spun a deep desire
To heat the stones in ash and fire
Mother, please teach me how to bake bread
Huldana, Huldana

Here is where I stand
My feet on the dirt
I give my whole to you
And alone I hand
The seeds to the earth
I give my song to you

Mother, please take me to the apple tree
Huldana, Huldana
Her fruits are now so sacred to me
Huldana, Huldana
The serpent, the apple, and the veil
Huldana, Huldana

The Sun came in with bursting light
And took my youth with all its might
Mother, please take me down to the water
Huldana, Huldana
