Midsummer’s Eve

The brightest day, the darkest night,
Stars hovering above the skies,
And the moon passing through the clouds,
Her silvery shadows on the lake,

Bonfires bright, in the cool air,
Glazing bright,
Hissing at the wood,
Swaying to the summer wind,

The lively fiddler,
Dancing to his tune,
A hundred couples,
Brides and grooms,
Twirling around the fire,

Celebrating the advent,
Of Midsummer’s Eve!
