suoh peone are to be nted They know not the titila
ting fear of going into dark room at night They never
felt their hair brist,e when coming out of one alone
Never looked back into dark chamber fearing to look
back nor slammed the door after them apprehendius the
pursuit of some airy form Oh. no, Would such people
20 into garnet all alone where darkness and rats cob
webs and gloom hold perpetual occupaucye oh. YES
And when there would rummage among dead mems
clothes never dreaming that some speful rhost might
breathe upon them its chilly breath or touch them with
its cold hand or beckon to them from the corner ont

its sbroud like form outwards seeming ready to t,hc
fight through the ary fields of space No never sucb
people could visit by the rmnses Of the
moon and never see misty forms elancinr betreen the
white rows Of tombs never list to voices that only the
clustering winds make inarticulate never hear the
humping of dead mems bones In the hollow vaults All
such dull unmarvelous people, Going home from some
late or loving trys they never half mile ont
of the way to avoid church never hear the rust
ling of grave clothes on the grass In among the tombs
never see shadowy form sitting on the old wooden
high up on the old church tower never hear the yoics
of mischief making elves up in the shattered bery when
the winds shake the steepe and the bells give forth half
whispered tones making Standardization with their iron
tongues and flooding the air With their mellow wavelets
of soundas il the gray haired SEXTON dead opd had
gathered IN his bones and gone up there from long habit
again to do the chimes Never Such peope never
weave such fapces for thew are all uuimarnatiye and
their heads come to pont at the son ike sugar loaf
Such are not the people of whom we are about to speak
