April showers bring May flowers,
But only as the Goddess wills it.
Roses are red and violets breathe blue,
But only as the Goddess wills it.

Love conquers all, but is simply a toy
To be used as the Goddess wills it.
Life is not lived, without destiny's end
To be used as the Goddess wills it.

Take thy liberty or take thy death,
But have only as the Goddess wills it.
Buy thy bread or buy thy death,
But have only as the Goddess wills it.

Sing ye songs of joys or laments of tomorrow,
To caress as the Goddess wills it.
Breathe words of a flower, for dozens of hours,
To caress as the Goddess wills it.

Make love in your heart and warmth in the hearth,
But only as the Goddess wills it.
Take care to share, and give all you've got,
But only as the Goddess wills it.

Take heed the laws of the Wiccan Rede,
For that is as the Goddess wills it.
Three times three, so mote it be-
For that is as the Goddess wills it.

All good shall come to pass, by three,
And only because the Goddess wills it.
All bad shall be avenged, by four,
And only because the Goddess wills it.
