It seems fitting that this one was found amongst the pages of the red book. Interestingly, it was handwritten on a scrap of paper and not actually part of the text itself. The paper was old and brittle and the handwriting smudged but I was able to transcribe the verses thusly:
Bound
the body
without life
pinned to the earth
a sword
through the soul
standing in the dirt
the dead
travel fast
but not very far
with the spirit
willing, interred
in the flesh
and the flesh
chilling, in turn
in the earth
the rod is steeled
stern
in the ground
so quiet
the apparition
bound.
