To Return Again On Hallow's Eve < !signature-->comes this night, just once, the year this spirit awaits, for she shall hear the voice of her love, and shall quit her bower on Hallow's Eve, at the midnight hour she's walked the halls these long years past her cry a sob in the winds that pass for the one night that she may again meet the soul for whom her spirit entreats her passage this night will take her beyond the halls and walls of her wanting home and as the moon surges up t'ward heaven to yon meadow's clearing she shall roam shhh, you can hear her soft refrain 'tis the tune Greensleeves she sings again for her lover sang to her this ballad and promised himself to be her lad and to him, she was Lady Greensleeves she did him no wrong, but was left to grieve for to war he went, but did not return he was her love, all others she spurned but on an Eve, on a Hallow'd night in the meadow's clearing, under pale moonlight she caught a glimpse of his spirit come 'round and followed him, and they retrieved her, drowned so comes this night, just once, the year this spirit awaits, for she shall hear the voice of her love, and shall quit her bower on Hallow's Eve, at the midnight hour Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 10-28-2000).] |

Kari, This is fabulous, such a tragically sweet and haunting tale. Yes I love it, of course I do, it is as always beautiful, it's so soft and with a bittersweet quality. If I had a voice I'd be cheering, very loudly. Love this I really do Take care Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Kari, bittersweet is much better for me, you know how easily I scare, I won't even go on the ghost walk, which is supposed to be fun. Mmmm some fun. Boosting this back to the top love, so that everyone can get a chance to see this class act. Take care Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
