Come, dance away, for bright autumn is here,
It is, as you know, the last ball of the year.
Welcome to autumn, and heed our gay song,
Gayly come dancing out on the green;
Welcome to autumn, we all wish thee long,
Welcome to HALLOWE’EN!
[A Witch enters at the side and taps once as she recites first verse, twice for the next, and so on.]
Witch:
Down the leaves all flutter, oh!
Hallowe’en has come, you know.
