I	A
The shadows sit and stand about its door	B
Like uninvited guests and poor	C
And all the long hot summer day	D
The grating locust dins its roundelay	E
In one old sycamore	B
The squirrel leaves upon its rotting roof	F
In empty hulls its tracks	G
And in its clapboard cracks	G
The spider weaves a windy woof	F
Its cells the mud wasp packs	G
The she fox whelps upon its floor	B
The owlet roosts above its door	B
And where the musty mosses run	H
The freckled snake basks in the sun	H
	-
II	A
The children of what fathers sleep	I
Beneath these melancholy pines	J
The slow slugs crawl among their graves where creep	I
The doddered poison vines	J
The orchard near the meadow deep	I
Lifts up decrepit arms	K
Gray lichened in a withering heap	I
No sap swells up to make it leap	I
As once in calms and storms	L
No blossom lulls its age asleep	I
Each breeze brings sad alarms	K
Big bell round pears and apples russet red	M
No maiden gathers now	N
The worm bored trunks weep gum like tears instead	M
From each decaying bough	N
	-
III	A
The woodlands around it are solitary	O
And fold it like gaunt hands	P
The sunlight is sad and the moonlight is dreary	O
And the hum of the country is weary so weary	O
And the bees go by in bands	P
To other lovelier lands	P
The grasses are rotting in walk and in bower	Q
The lonesomeness dank and rank	R
As a chamber where lies for a lonely hour	Q
An old man's corpse with many a flower	Q
Is hushed and blank	R
And even the birds have passed it by	A
To sing their songs to a happier sky	A
A happier sky and bank	R
	-
IV	F
In its desolate halls are lying	S
Gold blood red and browned	T
Drifted leaves of summer dying	S
And the winds above them sighing	S
Turn them round and round	T
Make a ghostly sound	T
As of footsteps failing flying	S
Voices through the chambers crying	S
Of the haunted house	U
	-
V	F
Gazing down in her white shroud	V
Shroud of windy cloud	V
Comes at night the phantom moon	W
Comes and all the shadows soon	W
Crowding in the rooms arouse	X
Shadows ghosts her rays lead on	Y
Till beneath the cloud	V
Like a ghost she's gone	Z
In her gusty shroud	V
O'er the haunted house	U
