Subject(s): Ghosts; Poetry & Poets; Supernatural
I saw them in the moonlight pass,
Like silver shadows in a glass;
With mournful step, erect and slow,
The ghost of Edgar Allan Poe;
Then quickly, like a frightened child,
The weeping ghost of Oscar Wilde;
And when I sought to give them aid
I saw them . . . fade!
