The Druids thought the mistletoe Would stop the meanest witches, Cure the most severe disease, Keep cradles safe from switches. Enemies laid down their arms Beneath its pungent spell. For one whole day they could not fight, Though hatred fire the will. In later centuries it served To force a willing kiss. For those reluctant on their own It was the door to bliss. Today it is a symbol of The mystic powers of Earth, For when the sun's about to die In love we find rebirth.
