“Who’s in the next room?—who? | |||
I seemed to see | |||
Somebody in the dawning passing through, | |||
Unknown to me.” | |||
“Nay: you saw nought. He passed invisibly.” | |||
“Who’s in the next room?—who? | |||
I seem to hear | |||
Somebody muttering firm in a language new | |||
That chills the ear.” | |||
“No: you catch not his tongue who has entered there.” | |||
“Who’s in the next room?—who? | |||
I seem to feel | |||
His breath like a clammy draught, as if it drew | |||
From the Polar Wheel.” | |||
“No: none who breathes at all does the door conceal.” | |||
“Who’s in the next room?—who? | |||
A figure wan | |||
With a message to one in there of something due? | |||
Shall I know him anon?” | |||
“Yea he; and he brought such; and you’ll know him anon.” | |||

The mysterious “language” at bar 20 is taken from the last three lines of the poem, pronounced backwards: | |||

“Who’s in the next room?—who?
I seemed to see
Somebody in the dawning passing through,
Unknown to me.”
“Nay: you saw nought. He passed invisibly.”
“Who’s in the next room?—who?
I seem to hear
Somebody muttering firm in a language new
That chills the ear.”
“No: you catch not his tongue who has entered there.”
“Who’s in the next room?—who?
I seem to feel
His breath like a clammy draught, as if it drew
From the Polar Wheel.”
“No: none who breathes at all does the door conceal.”
“Who’s in the next room?—who?
A figure wan
With a message to one in there of something due?
Shall I know him anon?”
“Yea he; and he brought such; and you’ll know him anon.”
The mysterious “language” at bar 20 is taken from the last three lines of the poem, pronounced backwards: “Nona mih whon loo dna chus tor ee dna ee yea Nona mih whon ya lash Oo gni thmus vo thin ah…”
