To that tempest-haunted night

Of two autumns past, when we,

Hastening homeward, were o'ertaken

Of the storm; and 'neath a tree,

With its wild leaves tempest-shaken,

Sheltered us in that forsaken,

Sad and ancient cemetery,—

Where folk came no more to bury.—

Haggard gravestones, mossed and crumbled,

Tottered round us, or o'ertumbled
