EXCERPT:
Beneath the Ferny Trees
My grandma, when a little girl,
One gloomy, storm-cloud night,
Ran up the path around her house
To see a dreadful sight;
Among the twisted, ferny trees
In shadows dense and black,
A gathering of terrors lurked
Around a moving sack.
Foul lights lit out from their great eyes,
A glowing, red and bright,
Brought forth the sack—released the prize,
To slay with great delight.
And I then saw the feasting beasts—
“The horror!” Grandma cried.
So off I ran back to the house
Beneath my bed to hide.
My ears could hear the distant screams,
And many tears were shed.
I cried in mourning for that soul,
Devoured by the dead.
