Sabbat Poetry
Samhain
Darkness come unto us now
The Lady lies alone
The sky and earth are silent here
The skin falls from the bone
Bitter are the winds that blow
Across the icy land
Life does sleep as if sweet Death
Does hold us in Her hand
And yet within there is the spark
The spiral twists again
Through the blackened nights we trust
The life blood does remain
Yule
Snow Queen
Some will call me Snow Queen
For my shadow will creep
From the north to the south
I will sing all to sleep
And I have in my heart
Such the sweetest of deaths
And the clouds will not part
'Til they catch every breath
Will you follow my path
Through the ice and the snow?
Will you learn how to laugh?
Will you share what you know?
For although I may bring
All that is dark and cold
I am true, the one thing
To make fragile hearts bold
Imbolc
Return! Return!
First sweet kisses of green
The sky turns to blue
As the Sun god is seen
Catch a glimpse of him now
As the lady will spin
Her new cloak of rebirth
For the children within
Spring Equinox
A sprinkle of new life
Upon the hallowed ground
Make swift your deeds tonight
By magick we are bound
I know the Sun and Moon
Will balance on this day
And give to me the strength
To do all that I pray
Beltane
By you, my love, I swear this true
In everything I say and do
We shall be one in heart and soul
I shall be yours, this is my goal
I stand beside the one for me
And hope that I shall always see
The love reflected in my eyes
From the first touch, until we die
By the gossamer wings and all magickal things
There will never be more past the old faerie door
Child of the cornfields
Child of the magick
By the fires we shall burn him!
Child of enchantment
Child of the Goddess
Once again the time has come
My Lady moon, she casts an eye
So, sleep my Earth and rest a while

Midsummer
I shall dance through the sky on this night
Never dream me away for I come back today
Making stars seem a little more bright
Than there lies in this meadow tonight
So we call once again to the sweetest refrain
And prepare to take our sacred flight
Lughnasadh
Child of the earth
Hear me now as I call
Child of rebirth
Watch as the Harvest King falls
By the water he drowns!
By the air we shall hang him!
Drag him all through the town!
Child of desire
This is our lesson to learn
Child of the God
The King shall always return! Autumn Equinox
When day and night are one
And we circle round again
Beneath the sacred Sun
Upon the Earth's repose
The trees all fading into gold
The plants that cease to grow
There is no need to rush
For all happens in nature's way
The wheel turns as it must
