Go not into the room beyond these walls
where some have gone, for mystery enthralls
the curious. . . but know there lies therein
a spirit cursed who suffers no chagrin,
who propagates the murder he recalls.
For when the moon is full and evening falls,
a din perhaps is heard. . .The phantom hauls
a corpse along the floor while moon peeps in.
Go not into the room.
They say when one goes in, that demon calls
the name of the intruder; then befalls
a likely death. . . he’s never seen again.
The ghost stands at the window with a grin,
a sight of unrepentance that appalls.
Go not into the room.
