it's just a spring-clean for the may queen.
This is from an enchanting tune, and one of the most popular songs ever played.
Every witch and every warlock knows what it means.
Do you?

I don't know because Rob said he made it up...
Saw Jimmy a few years ago.
Never dreamed he'd play Achilles but he did!
God himself couldn't have played that lead break any better.
I had goose bumps.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Play it backwards. Backmasking is cool.

I am curious if you guys know what these lyrics mean.

So why don't you "enlighten" us.
And answer the other question. Why are you even here? I'll clarify (since you seem to need help with even the simple questions). Why are you here on an atheist site? Please state your full intentions.

I knew what it was when i read the first 7 words instantly, it's one of my favorite lyrics of all time.
All I know is that Robert plant was influenced by mythical stories in his lyrics.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

I mean, the lyrics are pretty straightforwardly pagan, as are most of Led Zeppelin's lyrics. As Robert Plant has commented many times, he just sat down, in a pissed-off mood, and wrote them. He wasn't trying to get too deep. It's not that hard to figure out, unlike a lot of their songs.

I am a subversionary, why else would I be here?
I will re-phrase the lyric for you.
"If there is a bustle in your hedgerow"=
If there is a disturbance in your personal protection...
Don't be alarmed now.
"Its just a spring clean for the may queen"=
It is preparatory move for the most powerful witch in the spring equinox.
Some of the other elements of the song are interesting also.
But these are the most telling.
Wikipedia relates the author saying some of the words were written by his hand suddenly moving (automatic writing) and there the lyrics were.
We don't have many hedgerows over here in the US, but in England a hedgerow is an extremely thick and impassable line of bushes.
The may queen is selected during the celebration of the equinox.

Fun fact: I recently wrote an article about the new controversy about that song. Allegedly, a song by Spirit called "Taurus." Apparently, Zep's first American tour was supporting Spirit, and "Taurus" always brought down the house, and apparently, there's a part of the song that sounds almost exactly like the intro to "Stairway to Heaven."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd8AVbwB_6E
However, I found a cover of "Cry Me a River", by Davy Graham, that sounds more like "Stairway to Heaven" than "Cry Me a River." And it was recorded more than a decade before Led Zeppelin IV was released.
Compare:
Davy Graham's "Cry Me a River."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWeejHJxGjs
"Stairway."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pPvNqOb6RA
And, for control, Julie London's "Cry Me a River."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwheXIa8Cl0
And, what's more, Page explicitly derived one of his early instrumental works, "White Summer," from Davy Graham's version of "She Moved Through the Fair."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76Yvw_ZztQk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTvtZRYVeX8
Conclusion: if Jimmy Page was plagiarizing from anyone, it was Davy Graham. Really, at its heart, Zep was always a blues band, and bluesmen tend to do that sort of thing.
