Hail Eostara!

by Otto Baumann

Spring deerHail Ostara! 
Hail to you, great bringer of spring,
and herald of the radiant dawn
Hail to you, manifest in the returning birds,
In the melting of snows, and the stirrings of new life
Bathe us in your warmth, and chase away the cold
Hail to You, who takes the long sleep of death,
and wrings out new life
You who cracks the blackness of night,
With the golden promise of rebirth and renewal
Hail to you Eostara, 
through whom we realize that most sacred of hopes
For every death, and for every ending, 
A new life, and a new beginning 
Worlds without End
Hail Eostara!
