On Witched Night of Halloween

On witched night of Halloween
You’re sure of an awful fright
when ghoulies and ghosties are seen.

A creaky gate with paths unseen,
Dark tombstones loom in pale moonlight
On witched night of Halloween.

Twisted branches the sky will screen;
Over your head bat’s silent flight
When ghoulies and ghosties are seen.

Black cat, scarecrow, witches thirteen,
Vampires, mummy and a sprite:
On witched night of Halloween

Monsters of every shape convene
To celebrate their ancient rite
When ghoulies and ghosties are seen.

Ghosts and witches their prizes glean
Crying ‘Trick or treat’ in voices bright
On witched night of Halloween
When ghoulies and ghosties are seen.
