WHEN SOMEONE RAPPED, by EDITH COLBY First Line: When someone rapped at your front door Last Line: When someone rapped at your front door? | |||
When someone rapped at your front door, Did you say this and then some more? "Here, take my gloves, my coat, and hat, And these, Dad's shoes, and his cravat. This book -- be quick -- put it in place, That strip of cloth and piece of lace. This room! It surely is a sight! And I, myself, look just a fright!" Have you said this and then some more When someone rapped at your front door? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE JOBHOLDER by DAVID IGNATOW THE LEAVES FIRST by CARL PHILLIPS NO EXEMPTION FOR TOURISTS by KAREN SWENSON THE WOODLARK by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS HYMN TO INTELLECTUAL BEAUTY by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY CORTEGE FOR ROSENBLOOM by WALLACE STEVENS UNDERSTANDING by NIXON WATERMAN |
