lirik lagu jack beeson - the listeners
“is there anybody there?” said the traveller
knocking on the moonlit door;
and his horse in the silence champed the gr-sses
of the forest’s ferny floor:
and a bird flew up out of the turret
above the traveller’s head:
and he smote upon the door again a second time;
‘is there anybody there?’ he said
but no one descended to the traveller;
no head from the leaf-fringed sill
leaned over and looked into his grey eyes
where he stood perplexed and still
but only a host of phantom listeners
that dwelt in the lone house then
stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight
to that voice from the world of men:
stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair
that goes down to the empty hall
hearkening in an air stirred and shaken
by the lonely traveller’s call
and he felt in his heart their strangeness
their stillness answering his cry
while his horse moved, cropping the dark turf
‘neath the starred and leafy sky;
for he suddenly smote on the door, even
louder, and lifted his head: —
‘tell them i came, and no one answered
that i kept my word,’ he said
never the least stir made the listeners
though every word he spake
fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house
from the one man left awake:
ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup
and the sound of iron on stone
and how the silence surged softly backward
when the plunging hoofs were gone
