Time 'tween dusk and dawn,
When shadows quiver in fear,
Hidden behind tombstones;
Darkness smiles, ever drear.

Time 'tween night and morn,
When whispers of the wind
Howl through depths of night;
Empty courage lay abscind.

Time 'tween sunset and sunrise,
When owl's hoots usher in
Lost souls to crepuscule traps;
A distant fire burns in vain.

Time 'tween sunset and sunrise,
When distant stars burn bright,
Atop shades moonlight spread;
A dark world runs, until daylight,
