I spent more than an hour trying to find a clip of this song last night and failed. Maybe my problem was when I didn't find it in many pages of "Camelot" clips, I searched for "Julie Andrews", but not the movie version. I hated the movie version, because I saw the original cast on B'Way. Twice.
But for more than 20 years, this has always been the first song I play on Beltaine. I've woken up a campground of Pagans to this song. As snow fell.
Here's to the joy of May, Maiden and Lover, field and orchards swelling with the hope of new life.
I searched quite a bit; finally found it under Vanessa Redgrave, but not under Camelot. Goddess, Vanessa got it right, didn't she? May the Goddess bless you on this full-moon Beltane. May your wildflowers bloom and bloom and bloom. And, honestly, may they bloom some more. May they make bee colonies healthy and may the make the desert bloom. Beltane blessings to you.
Excellent choice for the season, Goddess.

Off to plant some wild flowers in the back yard.
