| - | |
| I Years had been from Home | B |
| And now before the Door | C |
| I dared not enter lest a Face | D |
| I never saw before | C |
| - | |
| Stare solid into mine | E |
| And ask my Business there | F |
| My Business but a Life I left | G |
| Was such remaining there | F |
| - | |
| I leaned upon the Awe | H |
| I lingered with Before | C |
| The Second like an Ocean rolled | I |
| And broke against my ear | J |
| - | |
| I laughed a crumbling Laugh | K |
| That I could fear a Door | C |
| Who Consternation compassed | I |
| And never winced before | C |
| - | |
| I fitted to the Latch | L |
| My Hand with trembling care | F |
| Lest back the awful Door should spring | M |
| And leave me in the Floor | C |
| - | |
| Then moved my Fingers off | N |
| As cautiously as Glass | O |
| And held my ears and like a Thief | P |
| Fled gasping from the House | Q |
