Some One by Walter de La Mare.

Some One.

By: Walter de la Mare

Some one came knocking

At my wee, small door;

Some one came knocking;

I’m sure-sure-sure;

I listened, I opened,

I looked to left and right,

But naught there was a stirring

In the still dark night;

Only the busy beetle

Tap-tapping in the wall,

Only from the forest

The screech-owl’s call,

Only the cricket whistling

While the dewdrops fall,

So I know not who came knocking,

At all, at all, at all.

NOTE: I learned this poem at school,

then forgot it, I am happy to have

found it again today.
