Beyond the Mist
From "Strange High House in the Mist"

Beyond the mist
That enshrouds these woods
In a remote corner of the land
Concealed from the eyes of common men
A tall dark castle stood
Of some unknown dark stone
Hitherto not found on earth

There are those who tell of strange events
Of parties unlike those we celebrate
And dark mutterings of names,
Which belonged
To things that lived before our births

They cannot tell who dwelt within
'T is known they never went inside
And they insist that whoever had gone in
Certainly must have died
So the castle stands in the mist
An eerie and foreboding sight
Mask of the Red Death meets Lovecraft. A castle as in the former but ceremonies like Strange High House in the Mist" and other tales. Poetics in Poe style.
