HALLOWE'EN

A gypsy flame is on the hearth,
Sign of this carnival of mirth.

Through the dun fields and from the
glade

Flash merry folk in masquerade — It is the witching Hallowe'en.

Pale tapers glimmer in the sky,
The dead and dying leaves go by;
Dimly across the faded green
Strange shadows, stranger shades, are

seen

It is the mystic Hallowe'en.

Soft gusts of love and memory
Beat at the heart reproachfully;

The lights that burn for those who die
Were flickering low, let them flare

high

It is the haunting Hallowe'en.
