There is a Darkness

There is a darkness 
Between the trees tonight, 
There is a darkness 
And I have the light

Be it only a lantern 
A flame and a wick,
It is enough to illuminate 
Every branch and stick 

A black veil ahead 
And no moon in the sky,
All is silent around 
Until some thing does cry

O, what is that thing?
Just what can it be?,
A spook, spectre or ghost 
I have to go and see

One step, then one more 
As curiosity overcomes fright,
For there is a darkness 
And I have the light.
