Let's gather 'round
in joyous fun.
The days of summer
have just begun.
It's the longest day
of the year.
The Summer Solstice
is finally here!

Elder, chamomile,
lemon, thyme,
larkspur, wisteria,
roses, pine.
Verbena, mugwort
and male fern,
lavender, frankencense,
in incense burn.

Sweet fruits, vegetables,
fresh off the vine,
manna from Nature,
blessings divine.
Gemstones of verdant greens,
emeralds and jades,
ivies and climbing vines
entwine balustrades.

Candles of sun-yellow,
grass-green and sky-blue,
glowing both day and night,
until the morning dew.
Aphrodite, Venus,
over festivals preside,
radiating beauty,
passion, love and pride.

Let's gather 'round
in joyous fun.
The days of summer
have just begun.
It's the longest day
of the year.
The Summer Solstice
is finally here!
