23. The Spirits of all Three<br />
Traditional<br />
BENEDICT SHEEHAN<br />
STAVE 4, Scene 4<br />
“Spectre,” said Scrooge, “Tell me what man that was whom we saw lying dead?” Scrooge reached an iron gate. A churchyard. Here, then; the wretched<br />
man whose name he had now to learn, lay underneath the ground. It was a worthy place; overrun by grass and weeds, choked up with too much burying.<br />
The Spirit stood among the graves, and pointed down to One.<br />
[CHOIR BEGINS] Scrooge crept towards it, trembling as he went; and following the finger, read upon the stone of the neglected<br />
grave his own name, Ebenezer Scrooge. “No, Spirit! Oh no, no!”<br />
