Invocation to the Corn King at Lammas
by Bird

We call to thee O Father of the sunlit plains
Lover of the crescent moon
Whose golden light lives within the seed
Planted in the field

We call to thee O Father of the maturing corn
King in the fertile soil
Wrapped in the womb of the mother
Where the bounty of the wheel is born

We call to thee O Father of the setting sun
Whose head bows in the summer breeze
Full of the love of the earth
Awaiting rebirth from the earth

O King of the Golden Corn
We invoke thee 
King of the Golden Corn
We welcome thee
