The Child Awakes
|
By Frank Peter Hermsen
|
|
These creatures came
|
|
Out of the storm
|
|
In a moonless night
|
|
When the dark child was born
|
|
They took it with them
|
|
Out of itą„s crib
|
|
Damned it to sleep
|
|
And buried it deep
|
|
Itą„s hard to forget
|
|
The ugly child
|
|
When you hear it calling
|
|
In the middle of the night
|
|
Through the mist
|
|
Closer again
|
|
Through the night
|
|
All over this land
|
|
They always say
|
|
They will return
|
|
When the child awakes
|
|
To murder and burn
|
|
And sometimes
|
|
In stormy moonless nights
|
|
My fear makes me
|
|
Run away and hide
|
|
I often pray
|
|
To the good lord then
|
|
Not to let this child
|
|
Wake up
|
|
Again
|
|
Itą„s hard to forget....
