Knocking on the moonlit door;
And his horse in the silence champed the grasses
Of the forest's ferny floor.

Additional quotes by Walter de la Mare

A bumpity ride in a wagon of hay

A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

"Tell them I came, and no one answered,
That I kept my word," he said.

"Is anybody there?" said the Traveler, Knocking on the moonlit door; And his horse in the silence champed the grasses Of the forest's ferny floor. - Walter de la Mare
