This is One of My Favorite Poems so I decided to Post It. “Antigonish” is a Poem written by American Educator and Poet William Hughes Mearns in 1899. The Poem was Inspired by Reports of a Ghost of a Man Roaming the Stairs of a Haunted House, in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada, the Poem was Originally part of a Play called The Psyco-ed, which Mearns had written for an English Class at Harvard University, Circa 1899.
“Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there!
He wasn’t there again today,
Oh how I wish He’d go away!
When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting 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….
