¶Liedtext

When in the tower the owls do screech, We fly by night; We wither all within our reach With noisome blight. About our path the bats do fly, The frogs do croak as we pass by, The faithful housedogs howl and bark, As on our deadly errand dark We fly, we fly! On awful shapes of dismal cloud We witches ride; The darkness follows like a shroud As on we glide. Where moonbeams play in darkened hall Our weird and flitting shadows fall, We haunt the tombs and churchyard graves, And where the tempest loudly raves We fly, we fly! O’er town and village, house and farm, By night we sweep; The folks below, not fearing harm, Are wrapt in sleep. But with a horrid nightmare dream We rouse the sleeper with a scream, The children in their beds we scare, Then off again through cloud and air We fly, we fly! “Colin Sterne”
