Poetry of the Supernatural

by Unknown

Maynard, Winifred. Saint Catherine. (In The Book of Winifred Maynard.)

. . . "Saint Catherine," in which the spotless virginity of the saint is made ashamed by the pitiful ghosts, who whisper their humanity to her in a dream.—William Stanley Braithwaite.

Middleton, Jesse Edgar. Off Heligoland. (In his Seadogs and Men-at-arms.)

Ghostly ships in a ghostly sea. . .

Millay, Edna St. Vincent. The Little Ghost. (In her Renascence.)

I knew her for a little ghost
That in my garden walked;
The wall is high—higher than most—
And the green gate was locked.

Monroe, Harriet. The Legend of Pass Christian. (In her You and I.)

Now we, who wait one night a year
Under these branches long,
May see a flaming ship, and hear
The echo of a song.

Noyes, Alfred. The Admiral's Ghost. (In his Collected Poems. 1913.)

—— A Song of Sherwood.
