Some One
Some one came and knocked
At my wee, small door;
Some one came and knocked,
I'm sure — sure — sure;
I harked, and I peeped out,
I looked to left and right,
But nought could I see stir
In the still dark night;
Just a big black old watch bug,
Tap- tap- tapped in the wall,
Just from out the deep wood
The screech owl's call,
Just the creak of night bugs
While the dew drops fall,
So I know not who came and knocked
At all, at all, at all.
