| - | |
| headed straight for the door It was autumn | D |

| - | |
| there in the hall flat on a sheet of blood that | A |
| ran down the stairs I did appreciate it There are few | H |
| hosts who so thoroughly prepare to greet a guest | A |
| only casually invited and that several months ago | J |
