WHAT THE SCARE-CROW SAID by Nicholas Vachel Lindsay
Read and animated by Mr Jim Moon, folk horror drones from the Eldritch Light Orchestra
What the Scare-crow Said
by Nicholas Vachel Lindsay
The dim-winged spirits of the night
Do fear and serve me well.
They creep from out the hedges of
The garden where I dwell.
I wave my arms across the walk.
The troops obey the sign,
And bring me shimmering shadow-robes
And cups of cowslip-wine.
Then dig a treasure called the moon,
A very precious thing,
And keep it in the air for me
Because I am a King.

WHERE ONCE POE WALKED by HP Lovecraft
One master of the macabre salutes another in eerie verse....
WHERE ONCE POE WALKED
by HP Lovecraft
Eternal brood the shadows on this ground,
Dreaming of centuries that have gone before;
Great elms rise solemnly by slab and mound,
Arched high above a hidden world of yore.
Round all the scene a light of memory plays,
And dead leaves whisper of departed days,
Longing for sights and sounds that are no more.
Lonely and sad, a specter glides along
Aisles where of old his living footsteps fell;
No common glance discerns him, though his song
Peals down through time with a mysterious spell.
Only the few who sorcery's secret know,
Espy amidst these tombs the shade of Poe.
