The sheeted ghosts of moated grange

And misty wraiths are passing strange;

The gibbering spooks and elfin freaks

And cackling witches’ maudlin squeaks—

—They have terrified the nations, and have laid

the bravest low,

But intimidate a woodsman up in Maine? Why,

bless you, no!

Merely misty apparitions or some sad ancestral

spook
