passage 3
"the deserted house"
by alfred lord tennyson
1 life and thought have gone away
side by side,
leaving door and windows wide:
careless tenants they!
2 all within is dark as night:
in the windows is no light;
and no murmur at the door,
so frequent on its hinge before.
3 close the door, the shutters close,
or thro' the windows we shall see
the nakedness and vacancy
of the dark deserted house.
4 come away: no more of mirth
is here or merry-making sound.
the house was builded of the earth,
and shall fall again to ground.
5 come away: for life and thought
here no longer dwell;
but in a city glorious--
a great and distant city--have bought
a mansion incorruptible.
would they could have stayed with us!
