And all that winter, when at night + 

The wind blew from the mountain-peak, + 

’Twas worth your while, though in the dark, + 

The church-yard path to seek: + 

For many a time and oft were heard + 

Cries coming from the mountain-head: + 

Some plainly living voices were; + 

And others, I’ve heard many swear, + 

Were voices of the dead: + 

I cannot think, whate’er they say, + 

They had to do with Martha Ray. + 
