SOME ONE

Reading edition

Illustration from Down-adown-derry: a book of fairy poems

Some one came knocking At my wee, small door; Some one came knocking, I'm sure—sure—sure; I listened, I opened, I looked to left and right, But nought there was a-stirring In the still dark night; Only the busy beetle Tap-tapping in the wall, Only from the forest The screech-owl's call, Only the cricket whistling While the dewdrops fall, So I know not who came knocking, At all, at all, at all.
