about

Farmland still had to be worked and maintained long after the light had gone. The light of the moon varies in intensity and never really sheds enough light to work by. So the rushes gave the opportunity for enhanced light after sunset and before dawn.

lyrics

RUSHLIGHT

There’s a beacon on the ridge
In a place that is silent
Take the path in the dark
That’s sprinkled with star light
Make for the ford
That’s burning by moonlight
Stumble through the forest
By the glow of the rushlight

The glow of the rushlight
The glow of the rushlight

Lords of the land
And ladies of twilight
Survey their domain
For the onset of sunlight
Catching the dew
As it falls from the leaves
Steer through the mist
As it hangs in the valley

The glow of the rushlight
The glow of the rushlight
The glow of the rushlight
The glow of the rushlight

Rest against the tree
As its roots gather round
Soak up the strength
Gifted from the ground
By hook or by crook
The journey resumes
By the light of the rush
And its tallow fumes

The glow of the rushlight
The glow of the rushlight
The glow of the rushlight
The glow of the rushlight
