Hallowe'en

By John Kendrick Bangs

 

The ghosts of all things past parade,
Emerging from the mist and shade
That hid them from our gaze,
And, full of song and ringing mirth,
In one glad moment of rebirth,
And again they walk the ways of earth
As in the ancient days.

The beacon light shines on the hill,
The will-o'-wisps the forests fill
With flashes filched from noon;
And witches on their broomsticks spry
Speed here and yonder in the sky,
And lift their strident voices high
Unto the Hunter's Moon.

The air resounds with tuneful notes
From myriads of straining throats,
All hailing Folly Queen;
So join the swelling choral throng,
Forget your sorrow and your wrong,
In one glad hour of joyous song
To honor Hallowe'en!

Halloween trek

 

Heavy boots trudge up and down the road

Each year I am bound to trudge along this path

Oh how tired I am moaning in pain from the heat

Even with the wind blowing the sweat still runs down my face

Each year this painful trek it is my duty to perform

Each year I hope my punishment will end

But each year I see the that face and hear

 

Daddy its time to go trick or treating 

Nice H. Goudry ;}
thank you :-)
