The Twin Kings
A fire god doth split in two These mighty trees soon aft' they grew One Oak, one Holly, strong and true In turn each fades and grows anew
Six short months to each is given these brothers' hearts are greatly striven The maid, the bride, the mother reigns Her choice each season preordained
Each year two battles must take place When one will win his love's embrace The Oak in brightness leads the fight Till Holly comes to take the night
When one grows old he's driven down The younger one will win the crown Until in time he grows in age The other brother takes the stage
Though both are mighty, strong and true Six months a year each twin will rule Beside his queen in jubilation Their love, the source of all creation
