I just wrote a verse for a solstice song, for which many tunes would fit:-

The days are short and the nights are long
and that is why I sing this song.
Take my hand and have no fear,
It is the turning of the year!

We'll eat a feast to celebrate.
We'll laugh and drink and stay up late.
Just sip your wine and quaff your beer,
It is the turning of the year.

The birds come close and eat our crumbs.
They plan for when the New Year comes.
They'll build a nest and sing out clear.
It is the turning of the year.

The wind blew strong and the leaves are gone,
But green shoots show before too long.
Cheerful daffs will soon appear,
It is the turning of the year.

The party's time to take your chance
to loudly sing and wildly dance.
Lift up your heart and give a cheer!
It is the turning of the year.

I would love it if you could find a singer!
