The Comet NEOWISE on 15 August 2020 from Konská, Žilina District, Slovakia. It resulted the brightest comet in the northern hemisphere since Comet Hale–Bopp in 1997, but it would have been exceeded in brightness by comet Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS in 2024.

"Ghosts" || Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1917)

Posted by Poetry Alley • Profile • 08/01/25 at 02:43AM • Poetry • See more by Poetry Alley

   Ghosts

There are ghosts in the room.
As I sit here alone, from the dark corners there
They come out of the gloom,
And they stand at my side and they lean on my chair

    There’s a ghost of a Hope
That lighted my days with a fanciful glow,
In her hand is the rope
That strangled her life out. Hope was slain long ago.

    But her ghost comes to-night
With its skeleton face and expressionless eyes,
And it stands in the light,
And mocks me, and jeers me with sobs and with sighs.

    There’s the ghost of a Joy,
A frail, fragile thing, and I prized it too much,
And the hands that destroy
Clasped its close, and it died at the withering touch.

    There’s the ghost of a Love,
Born with joy, reared with hope, died in pain and unrest,
But he towers above
All the others—this ghost; yet a ghost at the best,

I am weary, and fain
Would forget all these dead: but the gibbering host
Make my struggle in vain—
In each shadowy corner there lurketh a ghost.

This poem is in the public domain
