One need not to be a chamber to be haunted
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place

Far safer, of a midnight meeting
External ghost
Than an interior confronting
That wither host

Far safer through an abbey gallop
The stones achase
Than, moonless, one's own self encounter
In lonesome place

Ourself, behind ourself concealed
Should startle most;
Assassin, hid in our apartment
Be horror's least

The prudent carries a revolver
He bolts the door
O'erlooking a superior spectre
More near
