With the backdoor hue turning mist,
The day does lend a true sad wish
The clouds up gather for a final song
Thunders last break! ding n dong!
Nature’s up with beauty it can
Sharing its glow, with the river it ran
Through the tress that shed leaves to dry
Sheds my tears with smile to cry!
Moon above me, glows with tempt and smile
Snowflakes to share from clouds that cry
Lighting up woods with times to pause
Sending up stars, the deers n claus!
Swooping notes now change low
Wind gushing in parts ever known
Casting a smile not known to last
Catching air, till last moments may last!
The rain up now, dares to break
Would nature please to break?
Glooming thoughts grew a waterfall
Praying the skies for a water to fall.
Creepy to lock eyes with night
Still chanting names of nature’s might
Whose stars may shine on graves to last
Whose glow may show the eternal past.
With leaves that shed my tears-to-day
For this leaves the night today
well, it may gather my heart the all
For this moment marks winter’s fall.

- Robert Burns: Halloween: The following poem will, by many readers, be well enough understood; but for the sake of those who are unacquainted with the manners and traditions of the country where the scene is cast, notes are added to give some account of the principal charms and spells of that night, so big with prophecy to the peasantry in the west of Scotland. The passion of prying into futurity makes a striking part of the history of human nature in its rude state, in all ages and nations; and it may be some entertainment to a philosophic mind, if any such honour the author with a perusal, to see the remains of it among the more unenlightened in our own.-R.B.
