The moonlight fell across her face It danced a waltz upon her brow At once my heart began to race As she brightened night's dark shroud We tiptoed 'round the graveyard stones Into the depths we ventured on She stumbled on three unearthed bones But not a fright she came upon
On and on, we trekked so far Cold hand in mine, she led the way Soft ground at once my footprints marred Until, just at the light of day We stopped beside a winding creek The bank she'd often walked along Behind me came a whisper, weak But when I turned, the girl was gone
