Nog eentje voor Barley"Corn Rigs Are Bonnie"
Traditional Scottish

Corn Rigs/ Traditional Scottish

It was upon a Lammas night
When corn rigs are bonnie, O!
Beneath the moon's unclouded light
I held awa' to Annie, O!
The time flew by with tentless heed
Till 'tween the late and early, O!
Wi' smar' persuasion she agreed to
See me thro' the barley, O!
Chorus:
Corn rigs and barley rigs
Corn rigs are bonnie
I'll ne'er forget that happy night
Amang the rigs wi' Annie, O!

The sky was blue, the wind was still
The moon was shining clearly, O!
I set her down wi' right good will
Amang the rigs o' barley, O!
I kent her heart was a' my ain
I loved her most sincerely, O!
I kissed her owre and owre again
Amang the rigs o' barley, O!

I locked in my fond embrace
Her heart was beating rarely, O!
My blessings on that happy place
Amang the rigs o' barley, O!
But by the moon and stars so bright
That shone that hour so clearly, O!
She aye shall bless that happy night
Amang the rigs o' barley, O!

I hae been blythe wi' comrades dear
I hae been merry drinkin', O!
I hae been joyful gatherin' gear
I hae been happy thinkin', O!
But a' the pleasures e'er I saw
Tho' three times doubles fairly, O!
That happy night was worth them a'
Amang the rigs o' barley, O!

en nog een engels kinderliedje:

Oats, Peas, Beans, and Barley Grow

Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow
Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow
Can you or I or anyone know
How oats, peas, beans, and barley grow?

en nog een beetje creepy maar wel mooi, een wicca (heksen) "gebed"gericht aan de Barley Queen

Barley Queen Goddess, Deliveress from guilt,
Lady of the Nine Heights, Queen of Spring, Mother of the Willow
Ura, reeve the Immortal One stretched out on your Oak
Taunt them in your wild dance
And gather the Children of Circe under the Moon
As the fearsome -faced Goddess of Destiny,
you will make a snarling noise with your chops.
Dwindling to Nothing.

Citaat:
Maareeuh, wie of wat is een barley queen dan (van dat heksen verhaal)

Geen idee, ik kwam het tegen toen ik voor de grap een search deed op "barley queen" , een godin die ze aanbidden..

Wie is er online
