This gathering this night will draw
from dimensions distant something new
and bright and powerful that delights
and gives us wisdom we might crave
And on that wondrous spiritual wave
our lost ones gather to us here
on this the most propitious night
in this most beloved year

In holding hands we make a link
that reaches far beyond the veil
to something waiting in the dark
to travel now on waves of light
to make our little lives so bright
with joy, with love and fear

Oh spirits we invite you in
to our company this special eve
Our craven needs have drawn us now
to gather in this darkened shade
and call to you that you might come
and bring us succour from the grave

This little company so bravely calls
to creatures, energies out of sight
our little lives are broken here
on this dull plain and so we reach
for comfort and from all you teach
perhaps a way to raise ourselves
beyond the leaden world
