Ruth Mackenzie - In The Blue Woodland lyrics

Long, long ago, in my girlhood I went berrying, berry picking on a hillside Out in the cloudberries, raspberries There I heard the Moonmaid sigh Daughter of the Moon, she sat to weaving And her sister sun, bright, Sunsister spinning In the far blue, the blue woodland There I saw blue dresses of the eternities Anna Kuutar, kultiasi Päivätär hopeitasi O how softly, how softly I stepped into the blue, stepped into the blue woodland Whispering these words I've kept in secret Kept in secret but I now repeat to you Anna Kuutar, kultiasi Päivätär hopeitasi (Give me good Moonmaid of your gold Give sweet Sunlight your silver stole) Wrap me around in your bright arms Give good Moon what this child desires Gold on my brown and sleeves of silver I came to my homegates, I came home then like a flower Wearing the moonlight, the sunlight The very sky above, gifts of light and love and power Wore them one day, then another Seven blue dresses, six golden girdles wait you As a joy to father's farmyard This I have kept for you, all from that distant girlhood But already on the third day Clang the richest locker up, you behold the moon Took the gold from off my forehead And I saved it all for you my daughter
