Down in the Wood versuri

Versuri Agatha Christie – Down in the Wood lyrics

Bare brown branches against a blue sky
(And Silence within the wood),
Leaves that, listless, lie under your feet,
Bold brown boles that are biding their time
(And Silence within the wood).
Spring has been fair in the fashion of youth,
Summer with languorous largesse of love,
Autumn with passion that passes to pain,
Leaf, flower, and flame – they have fallen and failed

And Beauty – bare Beauty is left in the wood !

Bare brown branches against a mad moon
(And Something that stis in the wood),
Leaves that rustle and rise from the dead,
Branches that beckon and leer in the light
(And Something that walks in the wood).
Skirling and whirling, the leaves are alive!
Driven by Death in a devlish dance!
Shrieking and swaying of terrified trees!
A wind that goes sobbing and shivering by…

And Fear – naked Fear passes out of the wood!
