Some One

 Some one came and knocked
 At my wee, small door;
 Some one came and knocked,
 I'm sure — sure — sure;
 I harked, and I peeped out,
 I looked to left and right,
 But nought could I see stir
 In the still dark night;
 Just a big black old watch bug,
 Tap- tap- tapped in the wall,
 Just from out the deep wood
 The screech owl's call,
 Just the creak of night bugs
 While the dew drops fall,
 So I know not who came and knocked
 At all, at all, at all.
