Lurking In the Darkness

Lurking in the Darkness

Monsters lurk and wonder everywhere

Footsteps lightly bound

Sneaking here and there

Spirits waits to catch

All sleeping on the clouds

Overhead! Look Up, look down!

Everywhere and everywhere

Shadowy floods and cloudy-looking woods

Bent and battered

So haggard and so woe-begone

Cricket loud chirping shrills from stone to stone

Grasshoppers snapping and clattering

Owls lurking in the darkness

On the cold hill side

With anguish wet mist and fever dew

Hug moon waxing and waning again and again

Shimmering and hung across the sky

It blushes over the world

Come down and go hunting

Form the sprightly circling dance

Unveil your forms to mortal eye

I awoke from sweet slumber and found myself

Here on the cold airy mountainside

With all the sleepy dancers gone
