Kore, bright and wild Summer's blessed child Spring incarnate and joy in bloom Corn is reaching high Fledgelings test the sky Life uprising from winter's tomb
Kore Evohe!
Kore walks in Summer's garden Kore dances in the rain All around her the earth astounds With how life abounds In each leaf and root Song they sing to her Fruit they bring to her Gifts unnumbered on every shoot
Kore Evohe!
Comes the thresher to cut the grain The leaves grow bright before they fall The night grows long, the day grows weary And life, new grown, begins to call: "We are, from our birth, Doomed to lie in earth, Kore — lead the way."
Kore Evohe!
Every seed becomes a promise Kore takes them in her hand Into the earth, and into the darkness And into the quiet lands Kore leaves And her mother grieves And she sends the snow to cover the ground
Kore Evohe!
Summer holds her breath... Life comes new from death! Kore Evohe!
