KEG OF MYSTERY

KEG OF MYSTERY

Above the hatches the regent retreats

His dwindling radiance in vain resists

The taunting twilight’s beknighted sway

Who descending, casts abroad in shades of gray

A call to sundry folks their darling steeds to rein.

While some hearts may gloat with striven gain

Those that brood and sag beneath life’s strain

Pray they find in night’s alluring scroll

A friendly shawl to shield their souls.

Still there is a keg of mystery yet untold-

How greenery sprouts, and flower buds unfold

And tendrils leap the void to grab a stake-

Deep in the night for goodness sake

While yet we sleep, and dream of morning’s wake.
