Inspired by the Green Man images on medieval English churches and other sacred sites around the world, my Green Man Puppet sings his special song:

Song of the Green Man

Green grow the leaves upon the trees

Green leaves do sprout from me

I am a child of good Mother Earth

The Green Man I do be

Leaves of oak and birch and elm

Willow, pecan, and peach

Leaves in my eyebrows, leaves in my beard

Leaves wherever I reach

The Green Man I do be/The Green Man I  do be

I rest in winter hidden in the roots

My heartbeat is the rain  

And when Father Sun does summon me

I sprout green leaves again

Pine and redwood, aspen, ash

Elderberry, plum

Cottonwood, buckeye, sassafrass

And I have just begun!

The Green Man I do be/The Green Man I do be

So many shapes and shades of green

The leaves that I bring forth

I am a child of good Mother Earth

The Green Man I do be

Sycamore, sugarberry, maple, beech

Juniper and mesquite 

Leaves in my eyebrows, leaves in my beard

Leaves wherever I reach

The Green Man I do be/The Green Man I do be
