The Haunted Chamber
H W Longfellow

Each heart has its haunted chamber,    
Where the silent moonlight falls!    
On the floor are mysterious footsteps,    
There are whispers along the walls!  
And mine at times is haunted           
By phantoms of the Past,    
As motionless as shadows    
By the silent moonlight cast.
A form sits by the window,    
That is not seen by day,            
For as soon as the dawn approaches    
It vanishes away.
