EPILOGUE

John Gould Fletcher

Why it was I do not know, But last night I vividly dreamed Though a thousand miles away, That I had come back to you.

The windows were the same: The bed, the furniture the same, Only there was a door where empty wall had always been, And someone was trying to enter it.

I heard the grate of a key, An unknown voice apologetically Excused its intrusion just as I awoke. But I wonder after all

If there was some secret entranceway, Some ghost I overlooked, when I was there.
