Grows rotten with the waning light;

And crawling shadows of the night

Lie on the body like a pall.

Dead spirits dance upon the slope;

Blatant are bat-things overhead;

But now the revenants have fled,

The glad fantasias yet grope.

Only the ghouls are gently stirred

By tainted gusts lost from the gale;

And in the faun-infested vale
