Poems of Nature (Whittier)/Illustration 8

​

The Ghost of Fire.

For still, on many a moonless night,
From Kingston Head and from Montauk Light
The spectre kindles and burns in sight.

Now low and dim, now clear and higher,
Leaps up the terrible Ghost of Fire,—
Then, slowly sinking, the flames expire.
The Palatine.
