How did the enchantress steal my light
Guarded as my heart was by thee
She who crept stealthily into the night
Whilst you, my love, slumbered so sweet
Canines rested without midnight feast
Oh ,what a meal could have been
Yet there they lay by the hearth restfully
Whilst the enchantress did get in
A spell cast there above my bed
Words piercing whilst dreams carried me
Never the morn shall I see again
For in darkness – will I ever sleep
