Today the day is seeming drear…
The dreariness is coming near…
But the time is not to fear, my dear…
It’s merely dreariness almost here.

So dry those eyes and shed no tear…
The sun comes back real soon, I hear…
And it comes no sooner with lots of beer…
For only time cures looming drear.

But as we try to spy and peer…
And see through gloomy dark so drear…
Hoping we will hear the cheer…
For darkness ending, the dark lords sneer.

And sunlight fades beneath the fear…
That now there’s only darkness near…
And gloomy faces frown and leer…
For now the dreariness is truly here.
