The House on the Hill
1They are all gone away,
2 The House is shut and still,
3There is nothing more to say.
4Through broken walls and gray
5 The winds blow bleak and shrill:
6They are all gone away.
7Nor is there one to-day
8 To speak them good or ill:
9There is nothing more to say.
10Why is it then we stray
11 Around the sunken sill?
12They are all gone away,
13And our poor fancy-play
14 For them is wasted skill:
15There is nothing more to say.
16There is ruin and decay
17 In the House on the Hill:
18They are all gone away,
19There is nothing more to say.
