Specter, specter, why must you haunt me so?
With your pendulum swinging to and fro,
you drag me down to your sulf'rous abode,
menacing my face with your acrid goad.
Why will you not allow me slumber and rest?
I implore you to hide that face I detest!
Those malevolent sanguineous eyes,
that laugh and mock all pitiful cries...
Why you chose me to torment I know not,
but you lurk behind every gaze, every thought.
I have not slept for semesters on end
I know not if my tired soul can withstand
these never ending nocturnal tortures,
much longer until my will ruptures.
