 What Happened to Ichabod Crane?

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,"

What happened to Ichabod Crane?

Some say he ran away, also

Some say by Brom Bones he was slain.

Irving, the author, does not say,

But says that old Dutch wives do tell

That Crane was spirited away

Most likely to the fires of hell.

I was with Ichabod that night

When the headless horseman rode by,

And filled Ichabod with such fright.

I know where Crane did go and why.

Only I know the truth of course.

No one asked Gunpowder, the horse.
