Excerpt from The Haunted House The Haunted House In an orchard grim and lonely, Stands the Haunted House alone, And the marsh winds go by only, And they sigh - and they groan, And receive no other answer but a moan. Every stunted tree is rotten, Full of wrinkles and of holes, Long neglected and forgotten Save by cats - and by moles, And the nasty, sickly wheezing of lost souls. Here is murder undiscovered, Rape, and suicide and greed, Here are bodies still uncovered Save by dust - and by weed, And no other quilt or cover do they need. And the dews their bones besprinkle Till they glisten in the light, And the glow-worms crawl and twinkle Where their skulls - glimmer bright, Unprotested, unmolested, day and night. Not a wanderer who pauses In the night time or the day, For no matter what the cause is, He will stop - nor will stay, But will hurry on his journey fast away.
