The Darkly Hallowed Day

from Songs from the Orange Book by Justin Burning

/

lyrics

The darkly hallowed day is here,
When faded sunlight strangely falls—
When pumpkins everywhere appear,
And crows all make their mournful calls.

I wander home, bewitched by dreams,
A scarlet crunch beneath my tread.
The very air an omen seems—
I hear the whispers of the dead.

I hasten, for the shades of dusk
Begin to gather in the sky.
The world has all become a husk
Through which the wind begins to sigh.

I hasten, for I must prepare
For twilight's rite of trick-or-treat,
When jack-o'-lantern fires will flare
Along this autumn-haunted street.
