Secrecies In Darkness

Titan wood and haunted hill, vales in which the wolf doth kill.
Wisps that in the morass glow, mounts with diadems of snow.
Fog that swirls over moor and heath, the tawny owl sings from the trees.
From the ponds the old toad calls, this is where our drapery falls.

Eight hooves that pound the midnight groove.

Over stock and stone a carriage that winds,
upward the mountain pass, deep into the wild.
Crushing stone and shattering bough under wooden wheel,
and moonlight breaks in spruce and fir and paints the night unreal.

Titan wood and haunted hill, vales in which the wolf doth kill.
Wisps that in the morass glow, mounts with diadems of snow.

Secrecies lurk in darkness!
A spell was cast upon this night.

With ruthless hand and turbid eyes the coachman drives his brute,
that snarls and sniffs but rushes on to escape that spook.
Six hours as the raven flies, still to acquainted land,
six hours 'til the sun will rise and morning shall ascend.

Sleep my dear, don't bother thee with the idle talk,
of curse and evil blood that runeth in thy veins.

In the cabin lies asleep, unblessed by fevered dreams,
a traveller on his way home towards the sun's first beams.

Fog that swirls over moor and heath, the tawny owl sings from the trees.
From the ponds the old toad calls, when the darkened drapery falls.

Secrecies lurk in darkness!
A spell was cast upon this night.
Secrecies lurk in darkness!
