De la Mare’s 1912 collection contains his most famous poem, in which a traveller knocks at a moonlit door and is answered only by silence and listening phantoms. Around it are poems of old women and old men, Miss Loo and Old Ben, three cherry trees, a sleeping witch under the churchyard wall and other glimpses of the uncanny.
A landmark of Georgian poetry, still among the most haunting books of English verse. Download the free EPUB.
