Lammas Blessings

- LAMMAS BLESSINGS -

"It was upon a Lammas night

When corn rigs are bonny,

Beneath the Moon's unclouded light,

I held awhile to Annie.

The time went by with careless heed

Between the late and early;

With small persuasion she agreed

To see me through the barley.

Corn rigs and barley rigs,

And corn rigs are bonny!

I'll not forget that happy night,

Among the rigs with Annie!"

Robert Burns, 1783

"Hoof and Horn, Hoof and Horn,

All that dies shall be reborn.

Corn and Grain, Corn and Grain,

All that falls shall rise again."

Ian Corrigan
