Into the maze of green we go
Into the emerald sea
Across the lea
When boys and girls
Come out to play
Dress the day
In green for May
Into the velvet maze we go
Into the hollow way
That bends the sun
And breaks its ray
To smithereens
Fading into
Green gold baize…
Fading into green
Into the horny spring we sing
The green, the green man wakes
Slips lusty through
The sleeping towns
To fields between
Weaving shades
Of deeper green
Into the greenwood days we go
Its colonnades
In staves of trees
The woodland floor
Where creatures run
Out of fern-light
Into sun
Green the psyche of the earth
Green the colour of re-birth
The season, stem and seed
Green is all you’ll ever need
Onto the green
Raise your kirtles
To the Dean
And strip the king
And stir the queen
For green is all
And all is green
Come out to play
