Jack Lantern Light

                         Jack Lantern Light

 

Where can we wander

By jack-lantern light,

Treading dead leaves

In the dim smoky night?

 

Down to the cornfields

Under the moon

Rustling and empty

Except for raccoons;

 

Down the bare pathway

Winding through trees

Where dark woods are leaning

In a dry lonesome breeze;

 

Down to the graveyard

Covered with stones

Trying to hold down

Restless old bones.

 

Oh, what is that Thing

Coming near through the night?

Oh, where have we wandered

By jack-lantern light?
