And the wolf behowls the moon, Whilst the heavy ploughman snores, All with weary task toredone. Now the wasted brands do glow. Whilst the scritch-owl, scritching loud, Puts the wretch that lies in woe In remembrance of a shroud. Now it is the time of Night That the graves, all gaping wide. Every one lets forth his sprite.
