In the darkness, I sing of times long ago
In the shadows of a moonlit sky
The cool breeze plays a joyful tune
As Samhain eve celebrations begin
This night of goodbyes to those lost
While greeting a New Year on the morrow
A toast to be drunk to family and friends
Praising the Lord and Lady through it all.
Lengthening shadows bring the mist of
Ages crawling across the ground
Carrying along upon its back
The spirits of Samhain all around.
Scents of wood smoke greet my lungs
Crisp leaves crackle underfoot
The sounds of night creatures fill the air
As the bonfire lights the night.
A time to feel fear
Nay a time to feel free
For those we lost are never truly gone
On Samhain Eve we can know their worth
So rejoice with the wine and the song
