“Farewell, Christmas fair and free!”: A Candlemas Carol

beautiful:

February 2 is Candlemas, the Feast of the Purification, so here’s a medieval Candlemas carol.

Revertere, revertere,
The queen of bliss and of beauty.

Behold what life that we run in,
Frail to fall and ever like to sin
Through our enemy’s enticing;
Therefore we sing and cry to thee:
Revertere, revertere,
The queen of bliss and of beauty.
