Let’s not talk tonight,
Keep thoughts out of sight,
For once
Freed upon the night,
Sanity takes flight,
Left dunce
We struggle and fight,
Yet can find no light,
Bare sconce

Upon barren wall,
Where the shadows brawl,
He sees
Empires rise and fall,
Heroes great and small,
Time seized
To a careful crawl,
If the mortal call,
So please
