Maddy Prior Winter: Red & Green
Red and green together be seen
In the dark time of the year
Red and green together be seen
In the time of dread and fear
Green for the thorn of the holly leaf
That shines in candlelight
That holds the hope of evergreen
That glimmers in the night
Red and green together be seen
In the dark time of the year
Red and green together be seen
In the time of dread and fear
Red for the berry round and full
A drop of blood on snow
That shows us our humanity
That fruit from which we grow
Red and green together be seen
In the dark time of the year
Red and green together be seen
In the time of dread and fear
These rocky fields of black and white
Demanding endless toil
The misty sun gives tired light
To raise the sleeping soil
Red and green together be seen
In the dark time of the year
Red and green together be seen
In the time of dread and fear
