But more mysterious; gone to ruin—trails

Of vine through every loop-hole. Naught avails

The night as, torch in hand, he must explore

The maple chamber: did I say, its floor

Was made of intersecting cedar beams?

Worn now with gaps so large, there blew cold streams

Of air quite from the dungeon; lay your ear

Close and 't is like, one after one, you hear

In the blind darkness water drop. The nests

And nooks retain their long ranged vesture-chests
