Twitching Shadows
When the moon is up and the stars are bright,
I put off the lights, but left the candles burning all night,
I sunk into my bed and shut my eyes,
and slipped into sleep, so deep and tight!
I missed to see the flickering flames,
And the dancing shadows,
Twitching and touching the walls,
In the dozing gloomy light!
A story I was told, when I was lost,
Wandering in the wilderness of pantomime dreams,
Among the shades and shadows of my sleeping soul!!
