Five-Point Star (Hanson)

We’ll stand in the grove—No shoes on our feet
And, those who have come—Will fasten a ribbon
Of silk or of linen
And, bind—your hand to mine

We’ll dance to a tune—Of pipes and of strings
We’ll join our right hands—Then circle around
One foot on the ground
It’s corners right and back to the bar

Chorus:
Pass ’round the ale—cakes and sweet things
Here in this field—We’ll put on the rings
The wheel of the year—is turning again
The leaves are all orange and gold

Dancers join hands and weave in and out
Spinning around and turning about

*That Love is all there is, Is all we know of Love.
And a heart without love—cannot live and grow
Smolder and glow
Catch fire and spread through the soul

Chorus:
Pass ’round the ale—cakes and sweet things
Here in this field—We’ll put on the rings
The wheel of the year—is turning again
The leaves are all orange and gold
The leaves are all orange and gold

* (From “That Love is all there is” by Emily Dickinson)
