AUTUMN CHANT


I will dance
on Samhain's dusky eve.

I will dance
The dance of dying days
and sleeping life.

I will dance
In cold, dead leaves
A bending, whirling human flame.

I will dance
As the Horned God rides
Across the skies.

I will dance
To the music of his hounds
Running, baying in chorus.

I will dance
With the ghosts of those
Gone before.

I will dance
Between the sleep of life
And the dream of death.

I will dance
Oh Samhain's dusky eye,
I well dance.
