T/was The Night Before Samhain
Twas' the night before Samhain and all through the house.
Not a creature was stirring except for my spouse.
The incense it burned in his Caldron so black.
For witchcraft and magic he'd a wondrous knack.
The circle was drawn with the athame of power.
The guardians were called to each quarter tower.
The Lord and the Lady attended our rite,
In wonder and glory and power and might.
The dearly departed came as our guest,
To live once again after their rest.
We bid them goodbye with a tear in our eye,
Such a lovely presence of loved ones so nigh.
The candles danced in the flickering light.
With the Great Rite we bid them all a good night.
The guardians thanked,have all sped away.
The Lord and the Lady,thanks for the day.
The night before Samhain,Gods Bless this house.
A circle of wonder 'round me and my spouse.
