Cold Comes the Night

The big fire was still burning Full night had come An utter silence had descended A smell of burning lighted candles The little noises of the night Fire! Was still glowing the burning logs Fire! In the wide hearth and the candle flames The hissing of the fire Damp and cold, plunged in darkness Intense cold, unreal and dire Something intensely evil A fire upon a pile of ashes Faint streaks of light While darkness flashes Fire! Was still glowing the burning logs Fire! In the wide hearth and the candle flames Fire! On a night when the moon was bright Fire! Uncovering the mystic aims Nightly wandering Boundless moonlight Adopt a disguise Shouts of delight When the moon is bright Cold comes the night
