Strange sound it was, when the pale shadow spake; + 

For there was striving, in its piteous tongue, + 

To speak as when on earth it was awake, + 

And Isabella on its music hung: + 

Languor there was in it, and tremulous shake, + 

As in a palsied Druid’s harp unstrung; + 

And through it moan’d a ghostly undersong, + 

Like hoarse night-gusts sepulchral briars among. + 
