“Heather Blooms in Winter”
By Elaerina Cragsinger
Heather blooms in winter’s snow;
Blossoms bright do memories bring;
Visions of times sad and sweet;
And of a love’s first offering.
So let the highlands ring with gladness!
Swords in triumph raise as one!
Honor takes a nobler meaning;
When two souls be joined as one.
Heather blooms in winter’s winds;
Love grows strong, through fiercest weather;
Stems twined round each other give;
And take the strength to stand together.
So let the highlands ring with gladness!
Swords in triumph raise as one!
Duty takes a nobler meaning;
When two souls be joined as one.
Heather blooms in winter’s cold;
As warriors in a holy fight;
Gently soothed by love’s bold scent;
At last do turn to face new light.
So let the highlands ring with gladness!
Swords in triumph raise as one!
Loyalty has nobler meaning;
When two souls be joined as one.
So be your path together blessed;
By gods with love strong year to year;
And when tis dark outside remember;
Heather bloomed in winter here.
Aye, let the highlands ring with gladness!
Swords in triumph raise as one!
Love takes on a nobler meaning;
When two souls be joined as one!
