Halloween

is the night when small folk walk
- Happy in disguise
'Tis the night when wan ghosts stalk
With their glowing eyes!
From the fence, the black cats scream
In the moons pale light.
1t is like fairy dream;
Halloween tonight!
Pumpkins, yellower than gold;
Spool-tacks on the pane;
Devils dashing thither, bold;
Maidens in their train!
Bells and whistles ring and roar
On the still night air.
OF such fun, could Saints of Yore,
Then have been aware?
Much confetti whirled like snow
What mimic warl
Dancing, yelling, on they go,
On, parading more!
Masked and painted to the ears;
Blackened, daring eyes!
Halloween can hold no fears
II you are in disguise.
