A dreadful meaning!
The bright sun is shining,
The gentle breeze is blowing,
The beautiful flowers are blooming,
The sweet birds are singing,
What a wonderful scene!
Everybody is enjoying
The great season
With their heart's content;
But............
The dark stranger is laughing
From the back of the curtain,
Indeed a dreadful meaning!
About this poem
Darkness engulfs light with a dreadful meaning.
