One need not be a Chamber - to be Haunted -
One need not be a House -
The Brain has Corridors - surpa**ing
Material Place -
Far safer, of a Midnight Meeting
External ghost
Than its interior Confronting
That Cooler Host.
Far safer, through an Abbey gallop
The Stones a'chase-
Than Unarmed, one's a'self encounter -
In lonesome Place -
Ourself behind ourself, concealed -
Should startle most -
Assa**in hid in our apartment
Be Horror's least.
The Body - borrows a Revolver -
He bolts the Door -
O'erlooking a superior spectre -
Or More -
