IS IT?
Is that the wind a-howling
Round about my window pane?
Is that tapping, tapping made
By the steady drop of rain?
Is that rustling of leaves
I hear outside of the door?
Was that some one walking
On the upstairs bedroom floor?
Is that some one a-crying,
Or was it just the hoot of owl?
Was that some one moaning there,
Or was it just the wind's howl?
These and other questions
About things heard and seen
Keep a-crowding in my mind
Each year at Halloween.
