Door 04 - Dances After Dark

The wonders of Thistle Wood are for all to share 

But there are clear signs that not just mortals walk there 

Lights have been seen dancing among the darkened trees, 

And voices can be heard calling on the cold night breeze

There's a ring of worn grass where flitting faeries prance, 

And after mushrooms spring up to follow their merry dance 

But where the bony grinner stalks unwary fools 

Up slither dead men’s fingers and pallid skullstools 

Traditional skipping rhyme from Redvale Ballads And Folk Verses by E. L. Livermere, published in 1930, in Volume 41 Issue 4 of Folklore, The Journal of The Folklore Society
