| On the night before all hallows Or so the story goes, If you sit in a church’s shadows The future you can know. As midnight opens the day of the dead, If you wait at the lych-yard gate Through those gates, or so ‘tis said, Walk the shades of those soon to be late. As midnight chimes from the steeple, Through the gates they’ll stalk: An endless line of people With souls outlined in chalk. If you sit and watch until morning Then from Fate’s book you’ll read, Before all hallow’s dawning, All of the truth you need. Have you the strength for the venture? The courage to be shown? What’s the price of the indenture If the face you see is your own? |
