Love Charm

 

                                    Under moonlight I draw my bow

                                    To shoot at you love's sharp arrow.

                                    In the sunlight I gaze at thee.

                                    Longing for all that I can see.

                                    I make a Circle at twilight

                                    To draw you to me in the night.

 

                                    The birds will sing my love to you.

                                    The wind will cry, "His love is true!"

                                    The trees remind you of my touch:

                                    The Earth, I care for you so much.

                                    The rain will drench you in my love -

                                    My fondness falling from above.

 

                                    At you my Magick I have hurled.

                                    My love I've sent through all the world.

                                    Power I call to make us one

                                    Before the first rays of the sun.

                                    Oh soul, you are my saving grace.

                                    And I know you need my embrace.

 

                                    By Witchcraft strange and enchanting,

                                    I call upon you Spirit, sing!

                                    You want me now as I want you.

                                    None can resist a love so true.

                                    I charge you to come lie with me

                                    And let our passion set us free.
