Once upon a midnight eerie,
While the wind did sigh so dreary,
All the shadows danced and swayed,
In a night both grim and fey.
Pumpkins grinned with hollow eyes,
Underneath the moonlit skies;
Ghosts and goblins roamed the lane,
Singing softly, sweetly, “Hallow’s reign.”
From the crypts, a whisper came,
Calling softly each one’s name;
Yet fear not, mortal, fear not, friend,
For mirth and mischief have no end.
So lift your lantern, let it gleam,
And wander through this haunted dream;
With witches’ laughter in the air,
And black cats weaving everywhere.
On this night of spectral delight,
May your heart be brave, your soul be light;
For though the shadows twist and bend,
Happy Halloween, until the end.
