The night has set her outposts thereA
Of wind and rainB
And to and fro with ragged hairA
At intervals they search the paneB
-
The fir trees creepers redly climbC
That seem to bleedD
Like old conspirators in crimeC
Drip whispering of some desperate deedD
-
'Tis as if wild skirts flying fastE
Besieged the houseF
The wittol grass bent to the blastE
Whines as if witches held carouseG
-
And now dark feet steal to the doorH
And tap and tipI
Shuffle and then go on once moreH
The eaves keep a persistent dripI
-
And then a skurry and a boundJ
Wild feet againK
A wind wrenched tree that to the groundJ
Sweeps instantly its weight of rainB
-
What is it finger on its lipI
That up and downL
Treads with dark raiment all a dripI
Trailing a tattered leaf of gownL
-
'O father I am frightened SeeM
There at the pane '-
'Hush hush my child 'tis but a treeM
That tosses in the wind and rain '-
-
A rumble as it were of hoofsN
And hollow callO
'O father what rolls on the roofsP
That sounds like some dark funeral '-
-
'Hush hush my child it is the stormQ
The autumn wind '-
'But father see what is that formQ
There wild against the window blind '-
-
'It is the firelight in the room '-
The father sighedR
And then the child ''Twas dark as doomS
And had the face of her who died '-
