“A jolly place, said he, in days of old,
But something ails1 it now: the spot is curst.”
WORDSWORTH.
Part 1.
Some dreams we have are nothing else but dreams,
Unnatural2, and full of contradictions;
Yet others of our most romantic schemes
Are something more than fictions.
It might be only on enchanted3 ground;
It might be merely by a thought’s expansion;
But, in the spirit or the flesh, I found
An old deserted4 Mansion5.
A residence for woman, child, and man,
A dwelling6 place — and yet no habitation;
A House — but under some prodigious7 ban
Of excommunication.
Unhinged the iron gates half open hung,
Jarr’d by the gusty8 gales9 of many winters,
That from its crumbled10 pedestal had flung
One marble globe in splinters.
No dog was at the threshold, great or small;
No pigeon on the roof — no household creature —
No cat demurely11 dozing12 on the wall —
Not one domestic feature.
No human figure stirr’d, to go or come,
No face look’d forth13 from shut or open casement14;
No chimney smoked — there was no sign of Home
From parapet to basement.
With shatter’d panes16 the grassy17 court was starr’d;
The time-worn coping-stone had tumbled after;
And thro’ the ragged18 roof the sky shone, barr’d
With naked beam and rafter.
O’er all there hung a shadow and a fear;
A sense of mystery the spirit daunted19,
And said, as plain as whisper in the ear,
The place is Haunted!
The flow’r grew wild and rankly as the weed,
Roses with thistles struggled for espial,
And vagrant20 plants of parasitic21 breed
Had overgrown the Dial.
But gay or gloomy, steadfast22 or infirm,
No heart was there to heed23 the hour’s duration;
All times and tides were lost in one long term
Of stagnant24 desolation.
The wren25 had built within the Porch, she found
Its quiet loneliness so sure and thorough;
And on the lawn — within its turfy mound26 —
The rabbit made his burrow27.
The rabbit wild and gray, that flitted thro’
The shrubby28 clumps29, and frisk’d, and sat, and vanish’d,
But leisurely30 and bold, as if he knew
His enemy was banish’d.
The wary31 crow — the pheasant from the woods —
Lull’d by the still and everlasting32 sameness,
Close to the mansion, like domestic broods,
Fed with a “shocking tameness.”
The coot was swimming in the reedy pond,
Beside the water-hen, so soon affrighted;
And in the weedy moat the heron, fond
Of solitude33, alighted.
The moping heron, motionless and stiff,
That on a stone, as silently and stilly,
Stood, an apparent sentinel, as if
To guard the water-lily.
No sound was heard except, from far away,
The ringing of the witwall’s shrilly34 laughter,
Or, now and then, the chatter35 of the jay,
That Echo murmur’d after.
But Echo never mock’d the human tongue;
Some weighty crime, that Heaven could not pardon,
A secret curse on that old Building hung,
And its deserted Garden.
The beds were all untouch’d by hand or tool;
No footstep marked the damp and mossy gravel36,
Each walk as green as is the mantled37 pool,
For want of human travel.
The vine unpruned, and the neglected peach,
Droop’d from the wall with which they used to grapple;
And on the canker’d tree, in easy reach,
Rotted the golden apple.
But awfully38 the truant39 shunn’d the ground,
The vagrant kept aloof40, and daring Poacher;
In spite of gaps that thro’ the fences round
Invited the encroacher.
For over all there hung a cloud of fear,
A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,
And said, as plain as whisper in the ear,
The place is Haunted!
The pear and quince lay squander’d on the grass;
The mould was purple with unheeded showers
Of bloomy plums — a Wilderness41 it was
Of fruits, and weeds, and flowers!
The marigold amidst the nettles42 blew,
The gourd43 embraced the rose bush in its ramble44,
The thistle and the stock together grew,
The holly-hock and bramble.
The bear-bine with the lilac interlaced,
The sturdy bur-dock choked its slender neighbor,
The spicy45 pink. All tokens were effaced46
Of human care and labor47.
The very yew48 Formality had train’d
To such a rigid49 pyramidal stature50,
For want of trimming had almost regain’d
The raggedness51 of nature.
The Fountain was a-dry — neglect and time
Had marr’d the work of artisan and mason,
And efts and croaking52 frogs, begot53 of slime,
Sprawl’d in the ruin’d bason.
The Statue, fallen from its marble base,
Amidst the refuse leaves, and herbage rotten,
Lay like the Idol54 of some bygone race,
Its name and rites56 forgotten.
On ev’ry side the aspect was the same,
All ruin’d, desolate57, forlorn, and savage58:
No hand or foot within the precinct came
To rectify59 or ravage60.
For over all there hung a cloud of fear,
A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,
And said, as plain as whisper in the ear,
The place is Haunted!
Part 2.
O, very gloomy is the House of Woe61,
Where tears are falling while the bell is knelling62,
With all the dark solemnities which show
That Death is in the dwelling!
O very, very dreary63 is the room
Where Love, domestic Love, no longer nestles,
But, smitten64 by the common stroke of doom65,
The Corpse66 lies on the trestles!
But House of Woe, and hearse, and sable67 pall68,
The narrow home of the departed mortal,
Ne’er look’d so gloomy as that Ghostly Hall,
With its deserted portal!
The centipede along the threshold crept,
The cobweb hung across in mazy tangle69,
And in its winding-sheet the maggot slept,
At every nook and angle.
The keyhole lodged70 the earwig and her brood,
The emmets of the steps had old possession,
And march’d in search of their diurnal71 food
In undisturb’d procession.
As undisturb’d as the prehensile72 cell
Of moth73 or maggot, or the spider’s tissue,
For never foot upon that threshold fell,
To enter or to issue.
O’er all there hung the shadow of a fear,
A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,
And said, as plain as whisper in the ear,
The place is Haunted!
Howbeit, the door I push’d — or so I dream’d —
Which slowly, slowly gaped74 — the hinges creaking
With such a rusty75 eloquence76, it seem’d
That Time himself was speaking.
But Time was dumb within that Mansion old,
Or left his tale to the heraldic banners,
That hung from the corroded77 walls, and told
Of former men and manners:—
Those tatter’d flags, that with the open’d door,
Seem’d the old wave of battle to remember,
While fallen fragments danced upon the floor,
Like dead leaves in December.
The startled bats flew out — bird after bird —
The screech-owl overhead began to flutter,
And seem’d to mock the cry that she had heard
Some dying victim utter!
A shriek78 that echoed from the joisted roof,
And up the stair, and further still and further,
Till in some ringing chamber79 far aloof
It ceased its tale of murther!
Meanwhile the rusty armor rattled80 round,
The banner shudder’d, and the ragged streamer;
All things the horrid81 tenor82 of the sound
Acknowledged with a tremor83.
The antlers, where the helmet hung, and belt,
Stirr’d as the tempest stirs the forest branches,
Or as the stag had trembled when he felt
The blood-hound at his haunches.
The window jingled84 in its crumbled frame,
And thro’ its many gaps of destitution85
Dolorous86 moans and hollow sighings came,
Like those of dissolution.
The wood-louse dropped, and rolled into a ball,
Touch’d by some impulse occult or mechanic;
And nameless beetles87 ran along the wall
In universal panic.
The subtle spider, that from overhead
Hung like a spy on human guilt89 and error,
Suddenly turn’d, and up its slender thread
Ran with a nimble terror.
The very stains and fractures on the wall,
Assuming features solemn and terrific,
Hinted some Tragedy of that old Hall,
Lock’d up in hieroglyphic90.
Some tale that might, perchance, have solved the doubt,
Wherefore amongst those flags so dull and livid,
The banner of the BLOODY91 HAND shone out
So ominously92 vivid.
Some key to that inscrutable appeal,
Which made the very frame of Nature quiver;
And ev’ry thrilling nerve and fibre feel
So ague-like a shiver.
For over all there hung a cloud of fear,
A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,
And said, as plain as whisper in the ear,
The place is Haunted!
If but a rat had lingered in the house,
To lure93 the thought into a social channel!
But not a rat remain’d, or tiny mouse,
To squeak94 behind the panel.
Huge drops roll’d down the walls, as if they wept;
And where the cricket used to chirp95 so shrilly
The toad96 was squatting97, and the lizard98 crept
On that damp hearth99 and chilly100.
For years no cheerful blaze had sparkled there,
Or glanced on coat of buff or knightly101 metal;
The slug was crawling on the vacant chair —
The snail102 upon the settle.
The floor was redolent of mould and must,
The fungus103 in the rotten seams had quicken’d;
While on the oaken table coats of dust
Perennially104 had thicken’d.
No mark of leathern jack105 or metal can,
No cup — no horn — no hospitable106 token —
All social ties between that board and Man
Had long ago been broken.
There was so foul107 a rumor108 in the air,
The shadow of a Presence so atrocious;
No human creature could have feasted there,
Even the most ferocious109.
For over all there hung a cloud of fear,
A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,
And said, as plain as whisper in the ear,
The place is Haunted!
Part 3.
’Tis hard for human actions to account,
Whether from reason or from impulse only —
But some internal prompting bade me mount
The gloomy stairs and lonely.
Those gloomy stairs, so dark, and damp, and cold,
With odors as from bones and relics110 carnal,
Deprived of rite55, and consecrated111 mould,
The chapel112 vault113, or charnel.
Those dreary stairs, where with the sounding stress
Of ev’ry step so many echoes blended,
The mind, with dark misgivings114, fear’d to guess
How many feet ascended115.
The tempest with its spoils had drifted in,
Till each unwholesome stone was darkly spotted116,
As thickly as the leopard’s dappled skin,
With leaves that rankly rotted.
The air was thick — and in the upper gloom
The bat — or something in its shape — was winging;
And on the wall, as chilly as a tomb,
The Death’s-Head moth was clinging.
That mystic moth, which, with a sense profound
Of all unholy presence, augurs117 truly;
And with a grim significance flits round
The taper118 burning bluely.
Such omens119 in the place there seem’d to be,
At ev’ry crooked120 turn, or on the landing,
The straining eyeball was prepared to see
Some Apparition121 standing122.
For over all there hung a cloud of fear,
A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,
And said, as plain as whisper in the ear,
The place is Haunted!
Yet no portentous123 Shape the sight amazed;
Each object plain, and tangible124, and valid125;
But from their tarnish’d frames dark Figures gazed,
And Faces spectre-pallid.
Not merely with the mimic126 life that lies
Within the compass of Art’s simulation;
Their souls were looking thro’ their painted eyes
With awful speculation127.
On ev’ry lip a speechless horror dwelt;
On ev’ry brow the burthen of affliction;
The old Ancestral Spirits knew and felt
The House’s malediction128.
Such earnest woe their features overcast129,
They might have stirr’d, or sigh’d, or wept, or spoken;
But, save the hollow moaning of the blast,
The stillness was unbroken.
No other sound or stir of life was there,
Except my steps in solitary130 clamber,
From flight to flight, from humid stair to stair,
From chamber into chamber.
Deserted rooms of luxury and state,
That old magnificence had richly furnish’d
With pictures, cabinets of ancient date,
And carvings131 gilt132 and burnish’d.
Rich hangings, storied by the needle’s art
With scripture133 history, or classic fable134;
But all had faded, save one ragged part,
Where Cain was slaying135 Abel.
The silent waste of mildew136 and the moth
Had marr’d the tissue with a partial ravage;
But undecaying frown’d upon the cloth
Each feature stern and savage.
The sky was pale; the cloud a thing of doubt;
Some hues137 were fresh, and some decay’d and duller;
But still the BLOODY HAND shone strangely out
With vehemence138 of color!
The BLOODY HAND that with a lurid139 stain
Shone on the dusty floor, a dismal140 token,
Projected from the casement’s painted pane15,
Where all beside was broken.
The BLOODY HAND significant of crime,
That glaring on the old heraldic banner,
Had kept its crimson141 unimpair’d by time,
In such a wondrous142 manner!
O’er all there hung the shadow of a fear,
A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,
And said, as plain as whisper in the ear,
The place is Haunted!
The Death Watch tick’d behind the panel’d oak,
Inexplicable143 tremors144 shook the arras,
And echoes strange and mystical awoke,
The fancy to embarrass.
Prophetic hints that filled the soul with dread145,
But thro’ one gloomy entrance pointing mostly,
The while some secret inspiration said,
That Chamber is the Ghostly!
Across the door no gossamer146 festoon
Swung pendulous147 — no web — no dusty fringes,
No silky chrysalis or white cocoon148
About its nooks and hinges.
The spider shunn’d the interdicted149 room,
The moth, the beetle88, and the fly were banish’d,
And where the sunbeam fell athwart the gloom
The very midge had vanish’d.
One lonely ray that glanced upon a Bed,
As if with awful aim direct and certain
To show the BLOODY HAND in burning red
Embroider’d on the curtain.
And yet no gory150 stain was on the quilt —
The pillow in its place had slowly rotted;
The floor alone retain’d the trace of guilt,
Those boards obscurely spotted.
Obscurely spotted to the door, and thence
With mazy doubles to the grated casement —
Oh what a tale they told of fear intense,
Of horror and amazement151!
What human creature in the dead of night
Had coursed like hunted hare that cruel distance?
Had sought the door, the window in his flight,
Striving for dear existence?
What shrieking152 Spirit in that bloody room
Its mortal frame had violently quitted? —
Across the sunbeam, with a sudden gloom,
A ghostly Shadow flitted.
Across the sunbeam, and along the wall,
But painted on the air so very dimly,
It hardly veil’d the tapestry153 at all,
Or portrait frowning grimly.
O’er all there hung the shadow of a fear,
A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,
And said, as plain as whisper in the ear,
The place is Haunted!
