Darktime
Spooky darkness creeping slow
But my children you must know
'Tis but Mother's Cloak of Night
Safe to keep you snuggled tight
Trust the darkness, gather in
Time to let the workings spin
On their own while you must rest
Summer's busy work is past
Rest now with the dying Sun
Trust to rebirth, Wheel doth turn
Time to think and time to plan
Nature teaches woman, man
So then children trust the Night
She will put, yea, all things right.
