The House of Death


LO, a house untenanted
Stands beside the road of Time;
They who lived there once, have fled
To some other house and clime.


Towers pointing to the sky
With long shadows on the ground,
Never shade a passerby,
Never echo back a sound.

Written by William Stanley Braithwaite (1878-1962)
