Creatures of mist, half credited;

We visit; noiseless is our tread,
Who come from deserts of the dead,
Where no bird sings...

Creatures of mist, half credited;
Our faint form flings
No shadow in moonlight on the bed
We visit; noiseless is our tread,
Who come from deserts of the dead,
Where no bird sings.

We wander there;
Pale spectres, wondrous pale and worn,
As Privet flowers at even shorn
Are pale when Phosphor fails with morn,
We who once were.
