"The wheel of life turns, 
The cycle of rebirth continues. 
Those beyond life, 
You are remembered today. 
Gifts of love and hope, 
Are offered whole heartedly, 
To those we remember 
to those we do not, 
to all of those we have lost. 
Dark Lady and Dark Lord, 
In your gentle embrace, 
Our dead you have taken. 
All thread of life are cut, 
All threads are woven anew. 
May the wheel turn, 
And begin the cycle again. 
We give freely 
Juniper for love 
Yew for rebirth 
Bay for strength 
parsley for cleansing 
Alyssum for happiness 
Basil for peace. 
May our blessings be received. 
You are remembered."
