Grows the Night

Grows The Night


Grows the night, hours of slow sweeping pains

Moonlit views gifting no true delight,

A vassal of sad sorrows and woes

I seeking life's relief Fate denies

Grows the night, shadows dancing about

Creaking doors and pitiless low moans

Vestiges of weeping, shattered hearts

Trepidation reigns as, grows the night.
