The ghost-girl inhabits a room in the attic
of a lonelier house
in the fashionable part of the town,
where she is singing the songs
of a goldener age,
wearing a blue-and-white crown.
The people suppose the songs are the sighs
of the wind that blows by through the trees,
or else the sound of the passerine birds
as they whisper all night
in the breeze.
