Halloween (tonight is the night)

Tonight is the night
When dead leaves fly
Like witches on switches
Across the sky,
When elf and sprite
Flit through the night
On a moony sheen.
Tonight is the night
When leaves make a sound
Like a gnome in his home
Under the ground,
When spooks and trolls
Creep out of holes
Mossy and green.
Tonight is the night
When pumpkins stare
Through sheaves and leaves
Everywhere,
When ghoul and ghost
And [...]
This is Halloween

Goblins on the doorstep,
Phantoms in the air,
Owls on witches’ gateposts
Giving stare for stare,
Cats on flying broomsticks,
Bats against the moon,
Stirrings round of fate-cakes
With a solemn spoon,
Whirling apple parings,
Figures draped in sheets
Dodging, disapprearing,
Up and down the streets,
Jack-o’-lanterns grinning,
Shadows on a screen,
Shrieks and starts and laughter-
This is Halloween!
Halloween (Witches Flying)

Witches flying past on broomsticks,
Black cats leaping here and there,
White-robed spooks on every corner,
Mournful moaning in the air,
Goblins peering out of windows,
Spirit-things that rap and run-
But don’t be scared-it’s just October,
Having one last hour of fun!
Pumpkin Bells

(to tune of Jingle Bells)
Dashing through the streets
In our costumes bright and gay
To each house we go
Laughing all the way.
Halloween is here,
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to trick-or-treat
And sing pumpkin carols tonight!
Oh, pumpkin bells! Pumpkin bells!
Ringing loud and clear,
Oh, what fun we’ll have tonight
Since Halloween is here!
Halloween Just Can’t Be Beat

Dark night, moon so bright,
What a scary Halloween sight.
Black cats, flying bats,
Witches wearing pointy hats.
Ghosts are scary, monsters hairy,
A girl’s dressed up like a fairy.
Eerie sounds, pumpkins round,
Spooky things are all around.
Running feet, a tasty treat
Halloween just can’t be beat.
