'</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I drove her to ‘The Grange' at that, <br>Post haste, in coach and four, <br>I veiled her in black crepe and lace, <br>She fainted at the door.<br>I carried her, she was so slight<br>I feared she might be dead, <br>And laid her on the davenport<br>A pillow at her head.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I covered her with red damask<br>And drew the velvet drapes, <br>There'd be no light for her again<br>This side of heaven's gates, <br>She stirred in her delirium<br>And sighed with every tear, <br>‘Once you were mine, but now I find<br>Death whispers in my ear! '</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I lit a single candle, and<br>The beam fell on her face, <br>Though she was in extremis she<br>Had lost but little grace, <br>If only she had looked at me<br>To whisper words of love, <br>But he was near, Sir Ralph de Vere, <br>And ruled her from above.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">He'd lured her from our marriage bed<br>And had his way with her, <br>He'd dazzled her with sweet perfumes<br>And trinkets by the score, <br>He'd danced her off her pretty feet<br>And turned her face from me, <br>And like a fool, I fought a duel<br>With aristocracy.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Two pistols primed, he turned and fired<br>But most erratically, <br>His Second begged to cease it there<br>But I aimed carefully, <br>My first had pinged his shoulder<br>But he stood his ground, and stared, <br>The second bullet, true and straight<br>Left Ralph de Vere quite dead! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">The Seconds swore it legal when<br>The Magistrate was called, <br>But not so my Elizabeth; <br>No! - She was quite appalled.<br>She sank into a stupor there<br>Of shock and binding grief, <br>‘You've taken all my love, ' she cried, <br>‘You're just a petty thief! '</div><div style="margin:10px 0">A week she lay within these walls<br>A week of no respite, <br>I heard some ghostly mutterings<br>Around The Grange at night, <br>And then an apparition formed<br>Beside that davenport, <br>That wraithlike Peer, Sir Ralph de Vere<br>That I had set at naught.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The wraith leant over where she lay, <br>Held out a bony hand, <br>She rose up from the davenport<br>And laughed that she could stand, <br>They drifted from that hateful room, <br>Where I would have to stay, <br>Her body on the davenport<br>They faded both away.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I paced about that fateful night<br>And raged there in the gloom, <br>Her stolen soul had taken flight<br>From dearth, within that room.<br>And now I find my nightly plight<br>Is worse than dreamless fear, <br>Its bony hands caught at my throat, <br>Death whispers in my ear!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=David+Lewis+Paget">David Lewis Paget</a><div class=q>
