Shadows fade at midnight.
Shadows wake the past.
Shadows stealing moonlight
Go a-dying fast.
Shadows dim my insight.
Shadows dust my mind.
Shadows fearing daylight
Rush but fall behind.
Shadows glimmer vaguely.
Shadows strive to stay.
Shadows fighting bravely
Yield and die away.
Shadows die till morrow
Shadows spring anew.
Shadows leaving sorrow
Will remember you.
They will dim your insight,
They will dust your mind
They will fade at midnight
Almost dead and pined.
