      "The only ghost I ever saw",
      "Was dressed in mechlin, -- so;",
      "He wore no sandal on his foot,",
      "And stepped like flakes of snow.",
      "His gait was soundless, like the bird,",
      "But rapid, like the roe;",
      "His fashions quaint, mosaic,",
      "Or, haply, mistletoe.",
      "",
      "His conversation seldom,",
      "His laughter like the breeze",
      "That dies away in dimples",
      "Among the pensive trees.",
      "Our interview was transient,--",
      "Of me, himself was shy;",
      "And God forbid I look behind",
      "Since that appalling day!"
