  THE MESSENGER

  The thing, he said, would come in the night at three

  From the old churchyard on the hill below;

  But crouching by an oak fire's wholesome glow,

  I tried to tell myself it could not be.

  Surely, I mused, it was pleasantry

  Devised by one who did not truly know

  The Elder Sign, bequeathed from long ago,

  That sets the fumbling forms of darkness free.

  He had not meant it — no — but still I lit

  Another lamp as starry Leo climbed

  Out of the Seekonk, and a steeple chimed

  Three — and the firelight faded, bit by bit.

  Then at the door that cautious rattling came -

  And the mad truth devoured me like a flame!
