Low at my problem bending,
Another problem comes -
Larger than mine - serener -
Involving statelier sums.
I check my busy pencil -
My figures file away -
Wherefore, my baffled fingers
Thy perplexity?
What Inn is this
Where for the night
Peculiar Traveller comes?
Who is the Landlord?
Where the maids?
Behold, what curious rooms!
No ruddy fires on the hearth -
No brimming tankards flow.
Necromancer! Landlord!
Who are these below?
