In Memoriam A. H. H.: 7. Dark House, by Which Once More I S

12 lines

Alfred, Lord Tennyson·1809–1892·Lyric·Victorian

ark house, by which once more I stand

Here in the long unlovely street,

Doors, where my heart was used to beat

So quickly, waiting for a hand,

A hand that can be clasp'd no more--

Behold me, for I cannot sleep,

And like a guilty thing I creep

At earliest morning to the door.

He is not here; but far away

The noise of life begins again,

And ghastly thro' the drizzling rain

On the bald street breaks the blank day.
