Antigonish by Hughes Mearns (1899): poems

Yesterday, upon the stair,

I met a man who wasn't there.

He wasn't there again today,

I wish, I wish he'd go away...


When I came home last night at three,

The man was waiting there for me,

But when I looked around the hall,

I couldn't see him there at all!

Go away, go away, don't you come back anymore!

Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door...


Last night I saw upon the stair,

A little man who wasn't there,

He wasn't there again today,

Oh, how I wish he'd go away…
