Dartmoor

A train from London will be here soon
Hooded coach drivers wait, station bound
Arriving passengers number few
Macabre yarns have spun about a hound

The foggy moors are unforgiving
For any wanderer left to night
The house beacon, on the hill, is far
Wailing wind sends ... like briars in flight

Now that dusk is upon us,... listen
'Tis christen louder than steeple bells
Dead of Winter approaches swiftly
As twin daggers, whose fangs slay noels

There is a curse that must be knotted
Moors to the doors of Baskerville Hall
Bloody crux too shall pass with ending
And ghastly landscapes will lastly call

The foggy moors are unforgiving
For any wanderer left to night
The house beacon, on the hill, is far
Wailing wind sends ... like briars in flight

For/about: "The Hound of the Baskervilles"
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
[a Sherlock Holmes - Dr. Watson mystery]
Set on Dartmoor, Devon, in England's West Country

  1. oo this is good...you really set the ambience with your word choices....Now that dusk is upon us,... listen
    'Tis christen louder than steeple bells

  3. Nice rendition of "summer breeze". I always thought the original by ?? (help) was too sappy.
    You are inspired apparently, by music and Holmes, in this case.

    Just passing through. Hope you don't mind . . .

  4. Hello Goatman,
    Thank you for stopping by ... visit anytime.
    The original was done by "Seals & Crofts."
    This Type-O-Negative version seems ... warm ... intense & darkly ... I like it more.
    Yes, music/lyrics have always been a source for writing, and seasons, weather, watching & listening to people. (many things)
