J. C. Squire, ed. A Book of Women’s Verse. 1921.

By Mary Elizabeth Coleridge (1861–1907)

Gone

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.
