And the long passage send a dismal tune—

Music that ghosts delight in;—and now heed

Yon beauteous nymph, who must unmask the deed.

See! with majestic sweep she swims alone

70

Through rooms, all dreary, guided by a groan;

Though windows rattle, and though tap'stries shake,

And the feet falter every step they take,

}

'Mid groans and gibing sprights she silent goes,
