A beauty beyond fear to dim

Haunts now her alien home.

Ghosts in the world malignant, grim,

Vex many a wood, and glen,

And house, and pool,—the unquiet ghosts

Of dead and restless men.

But in her grannie's house this spirit—

A child as lone as she—

Pining for love not found on earth,

Ann dreams again to see.
