The Open Door

Author: Laurence Alma-Tadema [More Titles by Alma-Tadema]

Why have you locked the door, my maid,
Why have you locked the door?
O! I have let Grief out, she said,
Never to enter more.

Open and set it wide, my maid,
Open and set it wide!
Lest Joy should come one day, he said,
And have to stand outside.

[The end]
Laurence Alma-Tadema's poem: Open Door
