	Notes: This short song is a perfect companion for the darkest night of the year, the Winter Solstice. It is another "secular carol", and was the "B-side" to "December Carol" (also available from Graphite Publishing), featured on a self-produced CD single released in 2002. Merie Kirby's text speaks to the inherent wonder at the cycle of the seasons, and how the darkness of winter is part of a necessary balancing of the Earth. The music also has a balance to it, cyclical yet growing, dark with sparks of light. Darkness inevitably gives way to light, and the longest night is only as dark as we make it. Solstice Lullaby Tonight is the longest night Dream your longest dream Float through the dark Dance between the stars This darkness is the door Tonight is the key The circle completes Turn the key, Bring in the sun A little earlier, A little longer Every day from now Growing brighter. ©1999 Merie Kirby
