The Witching Hour

The Witching Hour

A poem by Sydney Stone. I do not own the image.

***

The moon is high,

The hour is nigh,

Do you hear their haunting cries?

Out beyond the candle’s light,

In the darkness of the night,

Beyond the gently swaying trees,

Despite the stillness of the breeze,

This is their hour, they have come,

Pray you see the light of dawn.

        Have you watched “Agatha All Along”, yet? I thought I’d dislike it, but I actually don’t. If you haven’t, that’s where that stanza is from. 😊

        I haven’t gotten the chance as of yet, never got around to making a Disney+ account, but if I ever do I will be sure to check it out.

    The dawn
    Is far
    And the door
    Ajar
    It’s dark
    Out there
    And they lurk
    Out there, somewhere
