from the unpublished remains of Edgar Allan PoeA
-
In the oldest of our alleysB
By good bejants tenantedC
Once a man whose name was WallaceD
William Wallace reared his headC
Rowdy Bejant in the collegeE
He was styledC
Never had these halls of knowledgeF
Welcomed waster half so wildC
-
Tassel blue and long and silkenG
From his cap did float and flowA
This was cast into the SwilcanG
Two months agoA
And every gentle air that sportedC
With his red gownG
Displayed a suit of clothes reportedC
The most alarming in the townG
-
Wanderers in that ancient alleyH
Through his luminous window sawI
Spirits come continuallyH
From a case well packed with strawI
Just behind the chair where sittingJ
With air sereneG
And in a blazer loosely fittingJ
The owner of the bunk was seenG
-
And all with cards and counters strayingJ
Was the place littered o'erK
With which sat playing playing playingJ
And wrangling evermoreL
A group of fellows whose chief functionG
Was to proclaimM
In voices of surpassing unctionG
Their luck and losses in the gameM
-
But stately things in robes of learningJ
Discussed one day the bejant's fateC
Ah let us mourn him unreturningJ
For they resolved to rusticateC
And now the glory he inheritsN
Thus dished and doomedC
Is largely founded on the meritsN
Of the Old Tom consumedC
-
And wanderers now within that alleyH
Through the half open shutters seeH
Old crones that talk continuallyH
In a discordant minor keyH
While with a kind of nervous shiverK
Past the front doorL
His former set go by for everK
But knock or ring no moreL
