On Lady Day Lyrics

When the silent barren winter
Casts its froszen pall
Over trees and grassy hilltops
Rivers large and small
Suddenly, the snow stops falling
And from out of the cold
Comes the form of a fairy maiden
As the legends foretold

Lady day, on quiet lady day
With blossoms in her hair
Comes the form of a fairy maiden
Spreading green everywhere

Though the mighy fairy maiden
Rises from the earth
Dismal winter passes by
Arrows swirling in the air
Softly now, the budding branches
Offer new life for all
And in splendor the holy maiden
Lets loose the battle of old

Lady day, on quiet lady day
And herbs so fresh for spring
And in splendor the holy maiden
Loots the snow in the tree
Treading softly through the valley
Across the snowy ravines
She has brought a box of dust
Setting every sapling free

Quietly, she bears her bosom
Where the fountain once lay
And in answer to waters come forth
She will start in day

Lady day, on quiet lady day
Her smile has thawed the spring
And in answer the lords transponds forth
Be the wintertime king
