Samhain 2002

Dark as the shadow falls

Dark as the sleep of the lover

Dark as the raven's wing

Dark as the forest deep

Dark as the Witch's call

Dark as the womb of the Mother

Dark as the True Blessing

Dark as the Heart grown deep

O mighty Darkness

Full and thick—impenetrable

Bless us on this Samhain Night

Keep us True and give us Flight.
