IN THE OLD FARM-HOUSE
THE GHOST
Dead of night, dead of night,
Living souls are a'bed;
Dead of night, dead of night,
And I sit with the dead.
Living souls are a'bed;
Dead of night, dead of night,
And I sit with the dead.
He laughs in white sheet,
And I, I laugh too,
'Tis Shakespeare—good fellow—
And Falstaff in view.
And I, I laugh too,
'Tis Shakespeare—good fellow—
And Falstaff in view.
