about

The turf-cut path at Wing still exists and another that once existed on Prestley Hill once provided a theatre for Mayday games in the county of Rutland. The goggle-eyed goddess at Braunston-in-Rutland still presides over proceedings

lyrics

Mayday! Mayday!
There is a cuckoo in the nest!
A bird on a Wing, an envoy from Tir na nOg?
Rude, evening sunlight illuminates the red-land
And a rutted path cast a spiral shadow that I will follow

There is morning chatter amongst the trees
From Robin-a-tip-toe to Borough Hill
Stare through the steely Eye Brook Gap To fish-stews and beyond
A natural theatre on a priestly hill
Provides a platform of convenience
Where ancient red-land games reveal the names
Of those now cast adrift in a chaotic Welland babble

A forlorn mother without a church
Casts out a goggle-eye over a graze of northern fields
The garlands and the reeds ignite inadvertent Heathen memories
Of a springtime drone that echoes the cuckoo's call
In a land where the two paths meet
