During the long winter night
Implicit and cold. Crispy, icy and solitary sight Shadows of autumn trees Stretching from one end to another; Averting luminance windows' light Into scars on the dark face Of swarthy chilling night. A mom in her child's bed room For long been trying to make Her restless baby asleep. Nine December will make her four And she hardly could adore, Deep salience in the house; Winter bound quite street And all around her board. Her windows and door Were shut for the night But a small ceiling vent Opening into the corridor; Continually that conveyed. Inarticulate sound of crying child And mom's sweet but fading lore. Could hardly enchant the minor soul. Suddenly, the mom heard. A gentle tapping On the exterior door. An old friendly neighbor Dissonance chorus made him to explore. Helping child to fall asleep With his melodious,foretold. Song from Southern deep. He sat in the couch. Beside the baby's bed Giving elucidated broad smile; Turning his head towards the child, Posing to be a humorous clown But the child hastily back down. Then he started singing. In his tired and fainting pitch. "Close your scarlet eyes, Fly my dear child, fly. Towards the ruffling clouds On the white Irish horse Fast and fluttering..." He was singing his melody, But the child kept staring him deep, At his broad wrinkled face. Abruptly, the old man started to snore, Falling himself into deep sleep. Awkward snoring amused the child. She gave a bright smile, Heavenly, tender and mild. Then the gliding white horse Took her in dreamland for a ride.
