18 paul

The only ghost The only ghost I ever sawWas dressed in Mechlin, --so;He wore no sandal on his foot,And stepped like flakes of snow.His gait was soundless, like the bird,But rapid, like the roe;His fashions quaint, mosaic,Or, haply, mistletoe. His conversation seldom,His laughter like the breezeThat dies away in dimplesAmong the pensive trees.Our interview was transient, --Of me, himself was shy;And God forbid I look behind Since that appalling day 1 like his and . so he can make better phrases 2ghost no sandal mistletoe laughter trees god day 3quiet while he walks .he was like silence. looking mosaic . laughing dies away lie the wind do look back at all to the past or don’t remember the past 4 yes . it makes it sound like what it is meant for . 5death is like a ghost . 6 I didn’t understand It completely so no 1.
