Rite Of Passage Poem by Chris Embrick

Dance ye maidens by mountain rill
Sing of love among the flowers
Garlands for the wedding bower
Dance ye maidens by mountain rill

Sing of love among the flowers
You've come this far with only dreams
From older women wisdom gleaned
Sing of love among the flowers

You've come this far with only dreams
Among young men find your Apollo
The heart you seek is sure to follow
You've come this far with only dreams

With other virgins join the circle
Dance ye maidens by mountain rill
With love your bed will soon be filled
With other virgins join the circle

Dance ye maidens by mountain rill
Sing of love among the flowers
Garlands for the wedding bower
Dance ye maidens by mountain rill.
