The Watcher

Do not stay idle nor linger for fear

 

There is great peril for those who wait here

 

And do not be merry, nor chortle with glee

 

For The Watcher at the window points his finger at thee

 

 

His face it is gaunt, flesh numb to the bone

 

He acts with great malice to those who stay alone

 

Do not stop! Dear Traveller, saddle up your horse

 

And be silent as you leave or be filled with remorse

 

 

Make haste and be solemn, don’t look back upon depart,

 

For there is blood on his hands and grief in his heart.
