Gravestone’s Moan

I sit alone where the gravestones moan
   And wicked winds wail wild
Where willows weep and shifting shadows creep
   And the dark is deep and defiled
Ghostly sighs where the lantern light dies
   Death spoke my name in a sable rain
With a voice both grave and grim
   Tapped his bone on the cold gravestone
As a pale cold hand pulled me in

For the grave is wide where the dreamers hide
   And the dead are buried deep
There’s a place for me in the Stygian sea
   Where the restless spirits roam
And the night is kind to the weary mind
   When the Reaper calls you home
