Fourth song from the cicle "While there is still a road..."

lyrics

Whither has the lantern gone tonight
Leaving a home?
Who is knocking at the door -
Is it a ghost, or is it a wind?

I am afraid to open,
I creep under a broom.
The uncle Morning has not horsed in yet,
Maybe he was arrested?

A shadow feast and a witch hunt
Is taking place in the yard,
A green moon is hiding,
Apparitions are gathering.

All with green legs, green arms -
Such a fearsome crowd!
One of then, being eyeless,
Is staring at me through the window.

Another unbidden guest
Being headless, is thinking,
Yet another armless one yonder in a corner
Is menacing to grab my leg.

Four of them are carrying a coffin,
The fifth one brings a scythe,
The sixth toothless yonder at the gate
Is eating the seventh.

Do not fancy, I will not cry,
I will not get lost in the bed.
I will focus, I will open my eyes -
I will see nothing.
