Swamp Demons


By C. A. BUTZ



    The lights that wink across the sodden moor
        Like phosphorescent eyes that beckon men
        To risk fell footsteps in the treacherous fen,
    And sink in loathsome muck, without a spoor--
    What ghosts of former days, what dread allure,
        Abides within this subterranean den?
    With wraith-like fingers, to a peril sure?

    'Tis told that evil things lurk out of sight
        With human bones that fester in the ooze;
        Belike 'tis true, these bones that once were clothed
    In fleshly form now harbor deadly spite
        Against the living, and this swamp still brews
    Within its bubbling depths the curse men loathed
        Before they turned to leprous Things of Night!
