While I sat me dreaming dreary,
In the sunshine, thinking o'er
Things that passed in days of yore:
While [nodded nearly sleeping,
Gently came in something creeping,
Creeping upward from the door.
" ”Its a cooling breeze," I muttered,
From the regions ’ueath the floor: . .
Only this and nothing more.
Ah! distinctly I remember.
It was in the wet September,
When the earth and every member
Of creation that I bore,
Had for weeks and months been soaking
In the meanest, most provoking
Foggy rain that, without Joking.
We had neverseen before.
So I know it must be very
Very cold beneath the floor.
So I out me nearly rapping
In the sunshine, stretching, gaping,
And a feeling quite delighted
Till I felt me growing colder.
And the stretching waxing bolder,
And myself now feeling Older,
Older than I felt beforc—, .
Feeling that my Joints were slider
_ Than they were in days of yore—
Stifi'er than they’d been before
All along my back the creeping
Soon gave place to rushing leaping.
As if countless frozen demons '
_ llsd concluded to explore
, All the cavities—the ”mints—
'Twlxt' me and my as or garments,
Through my boots into the‘fioor’;
Then I found myself 's shaking—
' Gently shaking more and more,
Every moment more and more. ~
Twas the acne, and it shock me I
Shaking totbe kitchen-every;
Everyplscs there Was warmth in store
Shaking till the china rattled:
Shaking till my ‘molm rattled; '
Shaking, and with all my warming,
Feeling colder than before:
Shaking till it had exhausted
All its powers to shake me more-'—
‘ Till it could not shake me more.
Theuit rested till the marrow,
- When it came with all the horror
That it bad the face to borrow.
Shaking. sinking as before.
And from that day ill-September—
Day which I shall longremember— '
It has made diurnal .vislts. ’

Just inside my silent door.
