Haunted Nursery Rhyme I
The stars and moon shone from the sky.
I promise you; this is no lie.
Silver and silky fell their rays;
Gentler than the sun on most days.
The breeze after twilight does tell
Of phantasies that cannot dwell.
Shades and shadows wriggle and churn;
Singing tales most will never learn.
But few awaken after dark;
As if they sleep beneath the lark.
And when you are freed from your dreams,
A grisly nightmare the world seems.
On stone, two dates have been engraved;
Will they call you fair and behaved?
Beyond the wood, beyond the dirt;
Their dreadful jeers shall never hurt.
