Chant For The Midsummer Solstice

Chant For the Midsummer Solstice

The sun stands still in the height of heaven,
All things must pass away

The days of summer stretch ahead,

All things must pass away.

Welcome the days of leisure and love,
All things must pass away.

Now is the wedding of earth and heaven,
All things must pass away.
