Art by the dark thing that crawled out from under your bed!

Leading up to Hallowe'en, we are presenting a selection of scary poems, beginning with the classic poem by Auden.  It is full of deliciously suggestive and enigmatic imagery.  

This poem often features in the English Literature curriculum in Britain, the United States and Australia.  

Auden produced slightly different version of this poem.  The one narrated here is also referred to as 'The Witness'.
