Beschreibung zu „The Spook Ballads“
The Spook Ballads is a collection of humorous "ghost poetry" stories in verse, written by William Theodore Parkes. Excerpt:
"O blessed chance!" the Ghost exclaimed, "Thou art the only one
Of all men else, who spoke me so, they always turn and run!
Thou art the first, that I have seen drop sympathetic tears,
Responsive to my moanings, aye for full one hundred years!
And so I feel that I can speak in unreserving tone,
And give thee cause for this alack! my chronic nightly groan!"

And so I feel that I can speak in unreserving tone,
