Does anyone remember singing the Halloween poem by Harry Behn, in school as a kid? I know I'm not mis-remembering this, because I found a thread on a UK forum where someone was asking about the same thing. If anyone has an audio clip of this, I'd love to get it.
Tonight is the night
When dead leaves fly
Like witches on switches
Across the sky,
When elf and sprite
Flit through the night
On a moony sheen.
Tonight is the night
When leaves make a sound
Like a gnome in his home
Under the ground,
When spooks and trolls
Creep out of holes
Mossy and green.
Tonight is the night
When pumpkins stare
Through sheaves and leaves
Everywhere,
When ghouls and ghost
And goblin host
Dance round their queen.
It's Halloween.

Send me a PM--I do recall singing the song, and I think I have a version recorded somewhere.
"WHAT'S out there?"
"I don't know.......it was little and brown, and low to the ground!"
