All Hallow’s Eve
Sable black, sable black, windy and weird,
All Hallow’s Eve is a night to be feared;
All Hallow’s Eve is a night to reside
Close by the warmth of a bright fireside.
For over the housetops, afloat on the breeze,
Eerie and elfin things peer through the trees;
Goblins and ogres and Auttery ghosts
Sail on the night wind in shadowy hosts.
Rushing behind them are dragons and cats
Driven by witches in tall, sooty hats.
Howling and shrieking, they whirl as they Aly,
Scratching the house-eaves and hurrying by,
Plucking at latches on sturdy front doors,
Peering through windows in curious scores.
Sable black, sable black, windy and weird,
All Hallow’s Eve is a night to be feared.
