What stories he told the children!
At the end of day,
When tired of play,
All bathed and well fed,
They cuddled in bed.

Their eyes open wide,
With him by their side,
They listened in awe,
To fables of yore.

Of shadows that crept,
While they soundly slept;
And phantoms that played
If first they'd not prayed!

Now they feel a chill,
Yet repeat them still,
To their young and old,
Those stories of gold.
