Oh! night arrived
At black midnight
The leaves fluttered and
The trees quivered
The wind blew with rage
Birds shrieked and shrieked.....
Thunder there was on high
White and crimson fires
Lurking, looming far away...
It was a dismal darkest day
Heavy rain gulped the nature
Oh! I bewildered
Alone I was at home
Suddenly, the light failed
Doomed-I!
Lit a candle
The clock struck twelve.....
Through the window I peeped
The bamboo bushes rustling
At once I stared
A feeling of fancy seized me
The scamper foot steps approaching
Flabbergasted!
Ghost haunted infront of me
I petrified...
