Villanelle Poem -- The Night and the Grave Villanelle

The Grave and the knight Villanelle

Do not go hanging around that grave at night
The grave where a knight has laid, full of grudge
Unless your heart is full of might

When the sun tries to conclude its flight
Then you know the darkness through the grave starts to budge
Do not go hanging around that grave at night

Then you catch a small glimpse of light
Fear climbs at the sight of a knight ghost in sludge
Unless your heart is full of might

With the sword on his hand, here comes the tramping knight
But you cannot move as though you are in front of a judge
Do not go hanging around that grave at night

Then you stun right where you stood, full of fright
As louder and louder the sound of the knight’s trudge
Unless your heart is full of might

At last, the sun starts to rise, shining bright
The knight sinks back to his grave, losing his courage
Do not go hanging around that grave at night
Unless your heart is full of might
