This dark poem was written by Malchor II as part of the backstory for The Grim Sisters' Anthology of the Mysterious & the Macabre. This poem has long been associated with the sisters, but its origin is unknown.
Dark
From an odd scrap of unusual paper kept by the Scholars of Novia:
Come, sister. Come away with me.
Into the shadows let us flee.
The fools are in their feathered beds
With feeble dreams and feckless heads.
Gone, sister, is the garish sun.
The day, at last, is dead and done.
Burned away, the sick-pale light.
Come, once more, O sacred night.
Oh, my sister, take my hand.
In gloom and shade, beside me stand.
The owl calls now. Listen! Hark!
'Tis time again to greet the dark.
Trivia
- Dark was written by Malchor II as part of the backstory created for the Scholars of Novia's "The Sisters Grim" contest.[1]
