The Woman in Black by E. C. Bentley is a short, playful clerihew about a mysterious, ghostly woman. Written in Bentley’s signature humorous style, the poem presents the Woman in Black as a spectral figure who walks through the night and frightens children. Though brief, it captures a whimsical, slightly eerie mood, blending lighthearted humor with gothic imagery, showcasing Bentley’s invention of the clerihew form and his talent for witty, imaginative verse.
