THE DOOR-BELL, by CHARLOTTE BECKER Poet's Biography First Line: I never hear it ring without Last Line: That funny little thrill. Subject(s): Bells | |||
I never hear it ring without A creepy little thrill Expectant of some possible Adventure, good or ill. It may be just a friend who comes To have a cup of tea; It may be just a letter's old Familiar mystery. It may be one who comes to sell Some queer, unwanted thing; Or one who brings the latest news Of war and uncrowned king. It may be just these happenings Of every-day, but still I never hear it ring without That funny little thrill. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HOUR BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF: 3.
