Its casements' diamond disks of glass	A
Stare myriad on a terrace old	B
Where urns unkempt with ragged grass	A
Foam o'er with frothy cold	B
The snow rounds o'er each stair of stone	C
The frozen fount is hooped with pearl	D
Down desolate walks like phantoms lone	C
Thin powd'ry snow wreaths whirl	D
	-
And to each rose tree's stem that bends	E
With silver snow combs glued with frost	F
It seems each summer rosebud sends	E
Its airy scentless ghost	G
The stiff Elizabethan pile	H
Chatters with cold thro' all its panes	I
And rumbling down each chimney file	H
The mad wind shakes his reins	I
	-
	-
	-
Lone in the Northern angle dim	J
With immemorial dust it lay	K
Where each gaunt casement's stony rim	J
Stared lidless to the day	K
Drear in the Northern angle hung	L
With olden arras dusky where	M
Tall shadowy Tristrams fought and sung	L
For shadowy Isolds fair	M
	-
Lies by a dingy cabinet	N
A tarnished lute upon the floor	O
A talon footed chair is set	P
Grotesquely by the door	O
A carven testered bedstead stands	Q
With rusty silks draped all about	R
And like a moon in murky lands	Q
A mirror glitters out	R
	-
Dark in the Northern angle where	M
In musty arras eats and clings	S
The drowsy moth and frightened there	M
The wild wind sighs and sings	S
Adown the roomy flue and takes	T
And swings the ghostly mirror till	U
It shrieks and creaks then pulls and shakes	T
The curtains with a will	U
	-
A starving mouse forever gnaws	V
Behind a polished panel dark	W
And 'long the floor its shadow draws	V
A poplar in the park	W
I have been there when blades of light	X
Stabbed each dull stained and dusty pane	Y
I have been there at dead of night	X
But never will again	Z
	-
She grew upon my vision as	A2
Heat sucked from the dry summer sod	B2
In taffetas as green as grass	A
Silent and faint she trod	B2
And angry jewels winked and frowned	C2
In serpent coils on neck and wrist	D2
And 'round her dainty waist was wound	C2
A zone of silver mist	D2
	-
And icy fair as some bleak land	E2
Her pale still face stormed o'er with night	X
Of raven tresses and her hand	E2
Was beautiful and white	X
Before the ebon mirror old	B
Full tearfully she made her moan	C
And then a cock crew far and cold	B
I looked and she was gone	F2
	-
As if had come a sullying breath	G2
And from the limpid mirror passed	H2
Her presence past like some near death	G2
Leaving my blood aghast	H2
Tho' I've been there when blades of light	X
Stabbed each dull stained and dusty pane	Y
Tho' I've been there at dead of night	X
I never will again	Z
