about

Ange: "This is a song about firmly rooted trees and the roles they play in life and folklore. It's also a song about folk tradition, motherhood and strong roots. I wrote this for Nancy Kerr and Kathryn Roberts, two mothers from the folk world that have been a huge personal inspiration to me."

lyrics

True are the mothers of hazel and birch, strong is the tree for the root. Many the stages of labour and birth, throughout the ages stood.

I am a mother of hazel and birch, fertile the soil through heart to the root of birth. All of my little ones call on my care to feed from the fruits of the earth.

True are the mothers of ash and of oak, strong is the tree for the root. None are forgotten for good is the home, throughout the ages stood.

I am a mother of ash and of oak. Many are welcome to Shelter all by my cloak, nesting my little ones all in my care to feed from the fruits of the earth.

True are mothers of elder and pear, strong is the tree for the root. Feeding the little ones all in good care, throughout the ages stood.

I am a mother of elder and pear. All of the sickness and poison I breathe in when nurturing little ones all in my care to feed from the fruits of the earth.

We are mothers of elm and of yew, strong is the tree for the root. Never forgotten are those from our view, throughout the ages stood.
