Happy Lammas!

"The Corn king gives his life for the land,

we toast his sacrifice with ale in our hand,

And eat the bread, from the harvest made,

As sheaves of corn to the earth are laid.

Transformation surrounds us,

The harvest turned to food and drink,

Now is the time to learn and think,

Of what we can do to grow even stronger,

As the summer recedes and nights grow longer.

We share our rewards and bless the earth,

That brings our fruitful abundance to birth,

May our well-earned bounty reward our toil,

As we harvest the seed and the grain from the soil."
