THE poor ghost came through the wind and rain	A
And passed down the old dear road again	B
	-
Thin cowered the hedges the tall trees swayed	C
Like little children that shrank afraid	C
	-
The wind was wild and the night was late	D
When the poor ghost came to the garden gate	D
	-
Dank were the flower beds heavy and wet	E
The weeds stood up where the rose was set	E
	-
The wind was angry the rain beat sore	F
When the poor ghost came to its own house door	F
	-
'And shall I find her a weeping still	G
To think how alone I lie and chill	G
	-
'Or shall I find her happy and warm	H
With her dear head laid on a new love's arm	I
	-
'Or shall I find she has learned to pine	J
For another's love and not for mine	J
	-
'Whatever chance I have this to my store	F
She is mine my own for evermore '	-
	-
So the poor ghost came through the wind and rain	A
Till it reached the square bright window pane	A
	-
'Oh what is here in the room so bright	K
Roses and love and a hid delight	K
	-
'What lurks in the silence that fills the room	L
A cypress wreath from a dead man's tomb	L
	-
'What sleeps What wakes And oh can it be	M
Her heart that is breaking and not for me '	-
	-
Then the poor ghost looked through the window pane	A
Though all the glass was wrinkled with rain	A
	-
'Oh there is light at the feet and head	N
Twelve tall tapers about the bed	N
	-
'Oh there are flowers white flowers and rare	O
But not the garland a bride may wear	O
	-
'Jasmine white and a white white rose	P
But its scent is gone where the lost dream goes	P
	-
'Straight lilies laid on the strait white bier	Q
But the room is empty she is not here	Q
	-
'Her body lies here deserted cold	R
And the body that loved it creeps in the mould	R
	-
'Was there ever an hour when my Love set free	M
Would not have hastened and come to me	M
	-
'Can the soul that loved mine long ago	S
Be hence and away and I not know	S
	-
'Oh then God's judgment is on me sore	F
For I have lost her for evermore '	-
	-
	-
And the poor ghost fared through the wind and rain	A
To its own appointed place again	B
	-
But up in Heaven where memories cease	T
Because the blessed have won to peace	T
	-
One pale saint shivered and closer wound	U
The shining raiment that wrapped her round	U
	-
'Oh fair is Heaven and glad am I	V
Yet I fain would remember the days gone by	V
	-
'The past is veiled and I may not know	S
But I think there was sorrow long ago	S
	-
'The sun of Heaven is warm and bright	K
But I think there is rain on the earth to night	K
	-
'O Christ because of Thine own sore pain	A
Help all poor souls in the wind and rain '	-
