THE STAR OF MAY MORNING
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

On a bright Beltaine morning, I rise from my sleep,
And softly go walking where the dark is yet deep-
And the tall eastern mountain, with it’s stretch to the sky,
Casts a luminous shadow where my true love doth lie-

I follow that shadow to where morning dew gleams,
I’ll ne’er wake my love from his innocent dreams-
Rather stand there in silence and watch for a while,
For I’d ne’er wake his slumber, or trouble that smile-

But passion soon takes me, my will then turns weak,
And ever so gently, I kiss his fair cheek-
So soft is that touch, he knows not I suppose,
And upon his side pillow, I place one thornless rose

The morning makes rainbows upon the white walls,
Far off in the forest, the summer lark calls-
Though the sun has now risen, one star I yet see,
‘Tis the Star of May Morning, my true love to me-

He’s the Star of May Morning, my true love to me-

Balance of Nature
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 28 fans who also own “The Star of May Morning”

Alexander James Adams's Balance of Nature is a wonderful album. The songs are wonderful, musically and lyrically, and He of the Sidhe is an incredible example of it. Nearly all the songs are about transitions of some sort, or about moving forward, and they are all worth listening to. Thanks for putting out such a wonderful album. Kamani

AJ Adams is quite phenomenal. I have followed his music since he became the Heir to the Heatherlands when Heather Alexander retired and returned to the Land of the Fae. Being true to one's self is difficult for many of us, but for those of us (like AJ Adams, and also myself) who are trans, being true to yourself is one of the hardest things we can do. This holiday album is as much a celebration of authenticity as it is of the Season. Delenn

Harvest Season - Second Cutting

Alexander James Adams is one of my all time favorite musicians; his music has seen me through both dark times and fair. His musicianship is excellent, a master Bard, songwriter, and fiddler. Cannot recommend his work enough; his music is exceptional! gaycelt

This is exactly the album that I need right now. Especially Warlock's Oath and Fang into Vein. Of course, the entire album is glorious spooky goodness. I'm in love. <3 Sai Chi
