Overheard in a Red Hook tavern one evening in the year 18__.

See the men of Arkham,
Trembling with fright;
Hiding in their hovels
From what passes in the night.
Hiding in their cellars,
With the rats that chew and gnaw;
Fearfull of an Evil
That they never even saw.
"Is there anybody out there?"
They all cowardly implore,
For they're fairly sure and certain
There is Something at the door.
Had they each an ounce of courage,
Or a tiny shred of wit,
They would see the Night for what is
And just be done with it!
Trembling with fright;

They all cowardly implore,
For they're fairly sure and certain

Had they each an ounce of courage,
