Original text and translations

2. Samhain
Eucalyptus, rosemary,
Burning brightly for remembrance:
Burning bright for purity
On this night when we remember...
 
Once again, Shadow's Eve.
Light the candle at the window.
Set a light to guide them home
Through the darkness of the night.
 
Contemplate our visions,
Dreaming of times long gone:
Dreaming of our loved ones
Who have passed across our lives...
 
Eucalyptus, rosemary,
Burning brightly for remembrance
Burning bright for purity
On this night when we recall.
