Additional quotes by Walter de la Mare

Some one came knocking
At my wee, small door;
Some one came knocking,
I’m sure—sure—sure.

We wake and whisper awhile,
But, the day gone by,
Silence and sleep like fields
Of amaranth lie.

All but blind
In his chambered hole
Gropes for worms
The four-clawed Mole.

Here lies a most beautiful lady, Light of step and heart was she; I think she was the most beautiful lady That ever was in the West Country. - Walter de la Mare
