The New House + 

Now first, as I shut the door, + 

I was alone + 

In the new house; and the wind + 

Began to moan. + 

Old at once was the house, + 

And I was old; + 

My ears were teased with the dread + 

Of what was foretold, + 

Nights of storm, days of mist, without end; + 

Sad days when the sun + 

Shone in vain: old griefs and griefs + 

Not yet begun. + 

All was foretold me; naught + 

Could I foresee; + 

But I learned how the wind would sound + 

After these things should be. + 
