One need not be a Chamber - to be Haunted - One need not be a House - The Brain has Corridors - surpassing Material Place - Far safer, of a midnight meetingExternal GhostThan it's 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 - Assassin hid in our ApartmentBe Horror's least - The Body - borrows a Revolver - He bolts the Door - O'erlooking a superior spectre - Or More -
