670 - One need not be a Chamber - to be Haunted

One need not be a Chamber - to be Haunted
One need not be a House - 
The Brain has Corridors - surpassing
Material Place

Far safer, of a Midnight Meeting
External Ghost 
Than its interior Confronting -
That Cooler Host. 

Far safer, through an Abbey gallop, 
The Stones a'chase - 
Than Unarmed, one's a'self encounter -
In lonesome Place -

Ourself behind ourself, concealed -
Should startle most -
Assassin hid in our Apartment Be 
Horror's least. 

The Body - borrows a Revolver - 
He bolts the Door - 
O'erlooking a superior spectre -
Or More -
