In soft moonlight<\/p>\n
On a clear<\/p>\n
Calm night<\/p>\n
The trees<\/p>\n
Silhouetted by the stars,<\/p>\n
I met the devil<\/p>\n
A handsome fellow<\/p>\n
He was quite charming<\/p>\n
A trifle alarming<\/p>\n
He greeted Good Morning<\/p>\n
I should have taken,<\/p>\n
Mothers warning<\/p>\n
To never trust<\/p>\n
A man past midnight<\/p>\n
Riches I can bestow<\/p>\n
upon you he said<\/p>\n
A treasure island<\/p>\n
He whispered<\/p>\n
The air suddenly crisper<\/p>\n
the soft moonlight<\/p>\n
waning in after hours<\/p>\n
my prospects sour<\/p>\n
I asked him dour<\/p>\n
Be honest now devil<\/p>\n
Of what do you speak?<\/p>\n
He replied<\/p>\n
Up the River<\/p>\n
An Island betwixt<\/p>\n
The two river branches<\/p>\n
Lies the treasure<\/p>\n
but you’ll measure<\/p>\n
it’s worth for yourself…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
