The Hallow's Eve Dance

Hear now, a verse of that time of the year, when
Over the lands lies a quilt wove of fear,
When dread superstitions and tales take hold, and
Legends are sung of the times gone of old.

In parlors and parties, you revel and reel, but in
Nearby churchyards, only requiem's peal
Goes sounding through mist-laden airs in the night, for the
Hallowed-eventide things ride tonight!

Across the dark lands, do they gather and glide, as you
Lock all the doors and you huddle inside, and the
Lights of your candleflames flicker and prance, while
Out in the darkness, starts the Hallow's Eve Dance!

Witches 'round cauldrons, serve punch to the ghouls, while the
Ethereal caper like jesters and fools, but then,
Everything stops with the dawn's early gleam. Until
Next Halloween, they shall slumber and dream.
