OPENING that we cannot find, Groping our way amid dark walls! There's light out yonder where the wind Singeth in thy chinks like one who calls. Well hid art thou, O Door! Locked and barred, and curtained o'er. A little postern through which men Can slip away, unheard, unseen. Thy bolts are drawn and closed again, And dark as they have ever been. The walls of time close round and round, Unpiercèd still by light or sound! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND A WEATHER-DREAM by ROSA MULHOLLAND |
