THE GHOSTS OF AN OLD HOUSE: THE WELL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The well is not used now
Last Line: From which he hauled forth buckets of bricks and dirt.
Subject(s): Wells


The well is not used now,
Its waters are tainted.

I remember there was once a man went down
To clean it.
He found it very cold and deep,
With a queer niche in one of its sides,
From which he hauled forth buckets of bricks and dirt.
