The Seed in the Soil
Author: D. Barron
Air: THUGAMAR FÉIN AN SAMHRADH LINN
Performed by the Carlow Storytellers

The seed in the soil creeps up to the light
Seeking new life in Springtime cold;

Seeking new life in Springtime cold;
The slow beat of life shows green, shows white,
Growing new buds in flower and grove.
The flower, bud and leaf then burst into life,
Pulsing with sap…

Do you remember, darling, the springtime of our years,
The passion, the tensions, the laughter, and some fears?
We planted love together and tended it with care
And we faced into our seasons, uncertain what lay…
