When dusk is drowned in drowsy dreams | B |
And slow the hues of sunset die | A |
When firefly and moth go by | A |
And in still streams the new moon seems | B |
Another moon and sky | A |
Then from the hills there comes a cry | A |
The owlet's cry | A |
A shivering voice that sobs and screams | B |
With terror screams | B |
- | |
'Who is it who is it who o o | C |
Who rides through the dusk and dew | D |
With a pair of horns | E |
As thin as thorns | E |
And face a bubble blue | D |
Who who who | D |
Who is it who is it who o o ' | - |

When night has dulled the lily's white | F |
And opened wide the moonflower's eyes | G |
When pale mists rise and veil the skies | G |
And round the height in whispering flight | F |
The night wind sounds and sighs | G |
Then in the wood again it cries | G |
The owlet cries | G |
A shivering voice that calls in fright | F |
In maundering fright | F |
- | |
'Who is it who is it who o o | C |
Who walks with a shuffling shoe | D |
'Mid the gusty trees | H |
With a face none sees | H |
And a form as ghostly too | D |
Who who who | D |
Who is it who is it who o o ' | - |

III | A |
- | |
When midnight leans a listening ear | I |
And tinkles on her insect lutes | J |
When 'mid the roots the cricket flutes | J |
And marsh and mere now far now near | K |
A jack o' lantern foots | J |
Then o'er the pool again it hoots | J |
The owlet hoots | J |
A voice that shivers as with fear | K |
That cries with fear | K |
- | |
'Who is it who is it who o o | C |
Who creeps with his glowworm crew | D |
Above the mire | L |
With a corpse light fire | M |
As only dead men do | D |
Who who who | D |
Who is it who is it who o o ' | - |
