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.
