Shiver

A shrill, high scream that made me shiver,
fear creeped all the way to my liver.

What such a thing made such a sound,
it was terrifying, shrill, and so loud.

The trees were still and I did shiver,
was this sound down by the river?

I slowly walked and quietly I did shiver,
slowly, slowly to the river.

The trees did sway, the moon was dark,
was it someone at play, a fun lark?

As I slowly came close to the river,
the sound again made me shiver.

In my unrest of this sound at night,
the moon was not giving any light.

Again, I hear and again I shiver,
but now I am at the bank of the river.

I see the reason for such a sound,
and then I slowly just turn around.
T'was the wind that shrilled and I did shiver.
