I FEEL so much alone,And yet I know that many hopes are stormingMy shut heart;For I am bolted fast in my own house.I pace distracted through its corridorsTo the music of Love's knocking handsAgainst the gate,Or silence when they sleep.I cannot find the key to let them in,I, my own host and guest and ghost,Imprisoned in myself!

1917
