Robert Graves - Ghost RaddledRobert Graves - Ghost Raddled
Work rating: Low


"Come, surly fellow, come! A song!"   What, madmen? Sing to you? Choose from the clouded tales of wrong   And terror I bring to you. Of a night so torn with cries,   Honest men sleeping Start awake with glaring eyes,   Bone-chilled, flesh creeping. Of spirits in the web hung room   Up above the stable, Groans, knockings in the gloom,   The dancing table. Of demons in the dry well   That cheep and mutter, Clanging of an unseen bell,   Blood choking the gutter. Of lust frightful, past belief,   Lurking unforgotten, Unrestrainable endless grief   From breasts long rotten. A song? What laughter or what song   Can this house remember? Do flowers and butterflies belong   To a blind December?
