One need not be a chamber to be haunted,
______ need not be a house;
The brain has corridors ______
Material place.
Far safer, of a midnight meeting
External ghost,
Than an interior confronting
That whiter host.
Far safer ______ an Abbey gallop,
The stones achase,
Than, moonless, one's ______ self encounter
In lonesome place.
Ourself, behind ourself concealed,
______ startle most;
Assassin, hid in our apartment,
Be horror's least.
The prudent carries a revolver,
He bolts the door,
O'erlooking a superior spectre
More near.
