And hang their bones upon the wall,

To please their gaze and gust of thrall;

As if a dead dog from below

Were made a jesting-stock and show!

See, from above! the restless dead

Peer out, with exudation dread—

That hangs in robes of clammy white,

Like clouds upon the inky night;

Their very ghosts are in this place,

I see them pass before my face;
