The House on the Borderland/Dedication

(Whose feet tread the lost aeons)

Open the door,
 * And listen!

Only the wind's muffled roar,
 * And the glisten

Of tears 'round the moon.
 * And, in fancy, the tread

Of vanishing shoon—
 * Out in the night with the Dead.

"Hush! And hark
 * To the sorrowful cry

Of the wind in the dark.
 * Hush and hark, without murmur or sigh,
 * To shoon that tread the lost aeons:
 * To the sound that bids you to die.

Hush and hark! Hush and Hark!" Shoon of the Dead
