| I WANT TO MEET... | I WANT TO MEET... |
| | |
| Armed, upright and shielded in armour | As a knight in shining armour |
| I went forth - | forth I came - |
| but from fear was the coat of mail cast | but in fear my heart was clad, |
| and from shame. | my helmet cast in shame. |
| | |
| I want to throw down my weapons, | Now I curse my weapons, |
| sword and shield. | sword and shield. |
| All the stark hostility | My anger and hostility, |
| was my coldness. | my coldness now must yield. |
| | |
| I have seen the dry seeds | I have seen the dry seeds |
| finally grow. | come alive. |
| I have seen the light green | I have seen the May Queen's deeds |
| unfurl. | make all the world thrive. |
| | |
| Mighty is the tenderness of life | Such strength in this frail life, |
| stronger than iron, | beyond that of steel; |
| driven out of the heart of the Earth | drawn from earth's core, |
| defenceless. | barely sheltered, in its peel. |
| | |
| Spring dawns in winter regions, | Spring! Resolve the winter's knife; |
| where I froze. | the frost that left me harmed. |
| I want to meet the forces of life | I will embrace the gifts of life |
| weaponless. | unarmed. |
