Subject(s): Halloween
First Line: Upon that night when witch and sprite
Last Line: Or watch the witch fires burn.
Subject(s): Halloween
Upon that night when witch and sprite
Go dancing 'neath the moon,
And goblins through the shadows flit
In mocking rigadoon,
It's close we'll keep our fireside bright,
With nuts and cider gay;
While leaping flame and merry jest
Keep fearsome things away.
It's safe beside the fire we'll sit,
Nor to the window turn
To see strange shadows 'neath the moon,
Or watch the witch fires burn.
