As the wild waves o’er them dash.

And we are here, in this night of fear,

Urged by a potent spell,

Haunting the glade where our bones are laid,

Our tale of crime to tell—

We have hither come, through the midnight gloom,

As the tempest about us rolls,

To spread mid the graves, where the rank grass waves,

The feast of the Damnèd Souls.

Some have flown from the deep sea-caves
