They told her Go alone	H
With never a word	I
To the burial plot's unknown	H
Grave with the grayest stone	H
When the clock on twelve is heard	I

Three times around it pass	J
With never a sound	K
Each time a wisp of grass	J
And myrtle pluck and pass	J
Out of the ghostly ground	K

Bespoke us how	N

An acre from the farm	O
The homestead graves	P
Lay walled from sun and storm	Q
Old cedars of priestly form	Q
Around like sentinel slaves	P

I loved but never could say	R
Such words to her	S
And waited from day to day	R
Nursing the hope that lay	R
Under the doubts that were	S

She passed 'neath the iron arch	T
Of the legended ground	K
And the moon like a twisted torch	U
Burned over one lonesome larch	T
She passed with never a sound	K

Three times had the circle traced	V
Three times had bent	W
To the grave that the myrtle graced	V
Three times then softly faced	V
Homeward and slowly went	W

That it haunts and will haunt me	D
The wind blew gustily	D
The graveyard gate clanged tight	G

A star in a stormy spot	A2
Shows half as much distress	Z
