Explore "Two Rogues" by Ambrose Bierce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Dim, grim, and silent as a ghost, / The sentry occupied his post, / To all the stirrings of the night / Alert of ear and sharp of sight.
A sudden something -- sight or sound, / About, above, or underground, / He knew not what, nor where -- ensued, / Thrilling the sleeping solitude.
