May Day comes again and goes
Reminder of those pagan ways--
Hopeful for more "sacred" sun,
Wishing for more golden rays.
O, my skinclad German forbears
Seeking Woden* in the skies
Lay aside your pagan fears--
Look to Christ and so arise.
Ah, Woden, Balder, Frigga, Thor*
"Hearing" prayers in days of yore,
If you had eyes to truly see
Faraway things that came to be:
Children now across the ocean,
First to follow Jesus' creed
Now have found a new religion:
"Gods" of lust and "gods" of greed.
May Day comes again and goes...
No longer balm for winter's woes.

We see the excellence of the moral character of Christ in contrast to the supposed pagan gods!
Yes, we do. I hope that we Americans move past worshipping these new false gods we've created... including certain men in power.
