Longest Night
longest night
greyed crumbling walls
housed holy monks in rising song
now only sparrows sing
moor brown winter dry
Kathy searches for Heathcliff
ponies huddle in ruins
ancient spirits
walk hill path pilgrimages
stars watch impassive
white ladies maidens
float above in tower halls
mice gather wheat seeds
wuthering winds pry
tightly shuttered windows hold
fox yips hound sleeps on
fill the hearth higher
gather for tales softly told
owls screech wisdom
whisper blessed words
drape the magic greenery round
soon night ends larks sing
