Come The Dawn
The darkness crept in slinking~
'Cross the creaking maple floors-
And in the distance the wind 'twas groaning-
While the Grackles were cackling at the Brass doors...
~~*~~
The trees in the forest black were whispering~
Branches cold, snapped at the Vampire Bats-
Dracula came out of hiding lusting for blood-
And the grounds of the estate were covered with black cats...
~~*~~
'Round the corner there came an eerie forboding~
A lost and most frightening glare of a stare-
'Twas the eyes of the wolf of Oberons ghost-
Howling at the moon with profound care...
~~*~~
And as the night aged into the Dawn~
Before the first light o' day-
The undead ran for daylight cover-
As the world turned a bleaker shade of gray...
~~*~~
Slowly disappearing 'twas the Sun~
As the Ghouls worked their vile spells-
Preparing for a 24/7 globe of Ebon'-
Inviting in- the evil spirits of Hell...
...And in the distance one could hear the call of:
The Raven
