Poem (short of): "Lullaby of death"
- Lullaby of death -
Shine, shine, oh darksome stars
Whine, whine for all your scars
Stay, stay up in the sky
Play, play that lullaby
Twist and turn around your bed
Sleep alive and wake up dead
Dance and hop around the floor
Step outside of the front door
Go and gaze up at the moon
Everyone thinks that you’re a loon
Lovely lullaby of death
Sing along with your last breath
Once you hear it, you will cry
Twice you hear it, you’ll still cry
Thrice you hear it; then you die
This is death’s sweet lullaby
I am but a poor storyteller
My stories can get no better
I will pay the lullaby’s price
For now I have heard it thrice...
