Happy Halloween Happy Halloween! All children shout the greeting, Passing from door to door. Pleased indeed for any token gift, Yet always hopeful for that full sized candy bar. Happy Halloween! Always spoken now in the spirit of fun. Little remains of the ancient fears Lost in times immemorial. Other, darker sentiments reigned then, When real spirits seemed to walk the lands, Each soul seeking it's own private peace. Everything, it seems, changes with time. Now no true fears trouble our evening's fun.
