Midnight Rider

In such a night, when every louder wind

The world seems frozen or confined

In such a night, when

Passing clouds give place

Or gently veil the mysterious face

Whole time, in darkness it will grow

All night - without fear

Itself, highborn from the blow

No threat without a tear

Midnight rider

Midnight rider

Rider in the night

Rider in the night

When darkness groves their

Blackest shadows wear

He is stealing peace

And his shade we fear

When a crueless cry

Beneath the village walls

His morbid brood

Their desperate calls

Whole time, in darkness it will grow

All night - without fear

Itself, highborn from the blow

No threat without a tear

Midnight rider

Midnight rider

Rider in the night

Rider in the night

The moon glows cold

But nearly perfect bright

Shows the land like a test of daylight

In such a night don't let me abroad remain,

Till morning comes, and there is hope again

Whole time, in darkness it will grow

All night - without fear

Itself, highborn from the blow

No threat without a tear

Midnight rider

Midnight rider

Rider in the night

Rider in the night
