As Darkness Does Fall Poem by Francis Duggan

As Darkness Does Fall



In the cracks in the plaster in the old church wall
The dark crickets are singing as darkness does fall
And the glossy male blackbird with the yellow bill
As he flies off to roost his call does sound so shrill
And the old country town it does seem rather quiet
When the half full moon rise above the trees on the height
The songs of the crickets so pleasing to hear
They sing in the gloaming in the dark places near
To where i am standing they sing where they hide
In the long grass and wall cavities and in the stone wall on the roadside,
A small flock of starlings so quickly they do fly
To their roosting place across the darkening sky
And on the street by the church few cars pass up and down
And all is so quiet in the old country town.
