Where was I last Friday night?—

Within the Forest of dark Dreams

Following a form of shadowy white

With my own wild face it seems.—

Did a raven's wing just fan my hair?

Or a web-winged bat brush by my face?

Or the hand of—something I did not dare

Look round to see in that obscene place!

Where the boughs, with their leaves a-devil's-dance,

And the thorn-tree bush, where the wind made moan,
