A distant clock told me 'twas midnight.
I tried to control my heart, in vain,
For it jumped at every sound in fright.
Soon I came upon the graveyard,
I sensed something move .
Something fluttered past my head,
An owl, it gave a 'Coo!'
I was frightened,my heart was jumping
Upon my chest, I heard its thumping.
The graveyard was silent
My head told me, "Something is imminent."
I heard footsteps some way behind me
Relieved, I stopped and turned to see
A boy of sixteen, jolly as trout
Come to a halt beside me.
Said I to him, "Friend, I have been told
ghosts walk this ground, ain't it true?" and
Said he with a smile, "Have you any doubt?"
