The Old Stone House

Title:     The Old Stone House
Author: Walter De la Mare [More Titles by De la Mare]

Nothing on the grey roof, nothing on the brown,
Only a little greening where the rain drips down;
Nobody at the window, nobody at the door,
Only a little hollow which a foot once wore;
But still I tread on tiptoe, still tiptoe on I go,
Past nettles, porch, and weedy well, for oh, I know
A friendless face is peering, and a still clear eye
Peeps closely through the casement
as my step goes by.

[The end]
Walter De la Mare's poem: Old Stone House
