i years had been from home - julie harris lyrics

Loading...

i years had been from home
and now, before the door
i dared not open, lest a face
i never saw before

stare vacant into mine
and ask my business there
my business,—just a life i left
was such still dwelling there?

i fumbled at my nerve
i scanned the windows near;
the silence like an ocean rolled
and broke against my ear

i laughed a wooden laugh
that i could fear a door
who danger and the dead had faced
but never quaked before

i fitted to the latch
my hand, with trembling care
lest back the awful door should spring
and leave me standing there

i moved my fingers off
as cautiously as glass
and held my ears, and like a thief
fled gasping from the house
