The Eldrich Beguilement

In the veil of the night I wandered about at the bole of a tree it did lightI deemed it a stone at first glance, no doubt something in me was lured by its sightFirst feeble and dim but then it did shine in the shade and the colours of goldThither I hurried, no longer I strolledMethought it was something divineFirmly I grasped and now i beheldNo precious did someone bequeath, I tossed it from me and terribly yelled...a skull with a golden teeth!First feeble and dim but then it did shine in the shade and the colours of goldThat thing of aghast it rolled and it rolled till it stopped at one place of malignLed by a dreamby light deceivedLight-hearted I strolledthrough the nightBut what the horrorof that ghastly thing?It is just a burial site...God may know why I frantically graved, where that death's headdid cover the ground - but what did I see!Unsound and depraved, my remains and their burial moundBut the horrorof that ghastly thingdid show me my burial site
