Goblin Night
l made a fire of apple wo<yi, Because it smelt so sweet: I roasted rosy apples For any one to eat. I peeped outside the window, For it was Hallowe'en, But not a ghost or goblin Or fairy could be seen.
So 1 grew tired of Watching, Ana went climbing "P the stairs, And knelt beside my little bed To say my evening prayers. There Were no ghosts or goblins, But in my dreams instead, A little friendly angel Watched All night beside my bed. —Alice A. Kenny
