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