Transition

Eleanor Hammond

THERE is a little room in my heart

Where we used to live together—

A very cozy little room.

You walked out carelessly,

Leaving the door half open;

But I closed and locked it, crying.

Sometimes when I pass the door

I wish you would come back,

Throw wide the seaward windows,

Kindle the fire again;

Although I know we are both better

Out here in the changing, crowded world—

For, after all, it is a very little room.
