With your eyes of misting meadows
As the night comes on
With your hair an empty nest
At the close of the season
With your cheeks of winter twilight
The colors of day fading away
Who am I to not stand in awe?
With your sorrows reaching deep
Drinking from the soil
With your peals of pearly laughter
Shining with the sun
With your peaks and valleys
That were forged by time
Who am I to not honor you?
Old pine woman
Old pine woman
Of the north
With you kiss for every step taken
And a bite that can tear
With your web that stretches
And a silk that’s hard to break
You’ve given birth to some that stay
And to others who’ve taken off in the wind
Who am I to not fear you some?
Old pine woman
Old pine woman
Of the north
With your stories of existence
Your surrender to the land
It is you who guides my truth
To something greater than my own plan
When society deafly clamors
Too much knowledge to even bear
I will call you my Great Mother
I will call you my Great Mother
