ALL HALLOWS EVE

Hallowe'en-Joel Bento

Pixie, kobold, elf and spite

All are on their rounds tonight,

In the wan moon's silver ray

Thrives their helter-skelter play.

Fond of cellar, barn or stack

True unto the almanac

they present to credulous eyes

Strange hobgoblin mystereis.

Cabbage stumps, straws wet with dew, Apple-skins, and chestnuts too,

And a mirror for some lass

Show what wonders come to pass.

Doors they move through, and gates they hide, 

Mischiefs that on moonbeams ride

Are their deeds-and, by their spells,

Love records it's oracles.

Don't we all, of long ago

By the ruddy fireplace glow,

In the kitchen and the hall. Those queer, coof-like pranks recall?

Every shadows, eerie were they then-

But tonight they come again;

Were we once more but sixteeen

Precious would be Hallowe'en.

A Happy Hallows to you all. 

Grab a cocktail and enjoy the music for the day!
