Charm from the Stalls of Barchester Cathedral by M.R. James



When I grew in the wood,
I was watered with blood,
Now in the church I stand.
Who that touches me with his hand,
If a bloody hand he bear,
I counsel him beware.


Lest he be fetched away,
Whether by night or day;
But chiefly when the wind blows high,
In a night of February.


This I dreamt 26th of February 1699 John Austin.
