Gloria

Link arms

join hands

mountains and valleys, take up the song,

cities and harbors, enter the dance.

Today we’ll wed the Sun,

to his one-and-only bride, the lilac.

Our Easter lilac, our girl,

our fields, seas, mountains,

mothers, daughters, slain brothers, fathers,

a tree with one root, one source, one spring.

Today we’ll wed  the Sun,

to his one-and-only bride, the lilac.

Longest  day – Defender – Defender!
