The Jolly Friar
You see him
As in a mist
Yet he smiles
Cracks
Jokes
And laughs,
The jolly friar.
Not on all nights
They saw him
But on many
Nights
Night bound humans
By the monastery grounds
The jolly friar
They saw.
And
One human
Asserts that at Dawn
Just minutes before
Of sudden he saw
The face of the
Jolly Friar become wan
And
More:
Him he saw dissolve
The jolly friar
Little by little
And the grass remain
Where he stood joking.
