So now I'm left alone

 Inside my dusky room

 The shades are slightly grown

 They grabble in the gloom

 

 Glissading by the window-sill

 Suspiring in the nightly still

 They slowly ride the wooden floor

 Entrapping scents from outdoor

 

 Fantastic shapes

 Are dancing on the velvet drapes

 Grimacing in the reel

 In endless fuss

 They silently discuss

 The secrets that I can't reveal

 

 Glissading by the window-sill

 Suspiring in the nightly still

 They slowly ride the wooden floor

 Entrapping scents from outdoor

 

 But maybe they actually want to believe in

 The frail and illusory system they live in

 Maybe they think they are sovereign wights

 Being the echoes of lights

 

 Glissading by the window-sill

 Suspiring in the nightly still

 They slowly ride the wooden floor

 Entrapping scents from outdoor

 

 Forevermore...
