In balance are the stars and sun
Rejoice! The Father Sun has won
We know the fertile Spring's begun
On this our Alban Eiler day
Snow melts 'round young Nature's toil
Pushing life through the thawing soil
The daffodil, tulip and trefoil
On this our Alban Eiler day
The shamrock with its leaves of three
Like a blessed triple goddess be
Or earth and fire and ether free
On this our Alban Eiler day
- Dobhran, 1999
Glad Bringer of brightness, hail!
Maiden of Grace, lad of Laughter.
Gifts of vigor are returning,
Spring's surprise, rainbow's embrace.
Quickened be the heart within us,
Opened be our souls to grace,
May the blessing be abiding,
Welcome sit in every face.
