Love

Gone

by Mary E. Coleridge 1861–1907

From Poems (1908)

Love

About the little chambers of my heart
Friends have been coming — going — many a year.
The doors stand open there.
Some, lightly stepping, enter; some depart.
Freely they come and freely go, at will.
The walls give back their laughter; all day long
They fill the house with song.
One door alone is shut, one chamber still.
