Once upon a winter’s night,

With clouded veil by candlelight;

Betwixt the realms of shadow and light

Bewilderedly they stray

Bereft of hope, befogged, forlorn

Devoid of kinship lost; they mourn

Forgotten love, devotion sworn

Tethered, bound to stay.

Foretold by tales from times of yore

Our mortal plane they do explore,

Yet no harm to you they do implore

Take comfort please they pray.
