Banshee

The Banshee sang its mournful song
Upon the night time air
To take souls to the other world
Who went it didn’t care

Whoever heard its dreadful wail
Would be the first to leave
But many more would follow
From the Banshee no reprieve

All the doors around were locked 
To keep the people well
But surely as the Banshee knocked
Soon some would be in Hell

Don’t walk afar on these dark nights
But if you have to   Please……..
Be wary of the Banshee song
As it goes singing through the trees
