I have found the Crescent, and number Two—

I have rung the bell—the servant has come—

I have opened my lips, and words run through,

And they ask 'Is Mr. Clarence at home?'

A man has appear'd from some inner place

(I heard him describ'd 'ere this trance began)—

Is he moving away into empty space?

I must come to life and must stop this man.

A terrible nightmare on throat and brain—

A body and soul in bewilder'd strife—
